Excludes2 — not included here

- aneurysmal cyst of jaw (M27.4)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M85
The conditions below can never be reported together with M85.5 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
