Wide Excision of Benign Lower-Limb Tumours: When Size and Margins Matter

Benign tumours of the lower limb may still require wide excision when they are large, recurrent, or close to critical structures. Although non-cancerous, these procedures demand careful surgical margins.

What It Costs

For wide excision biopsy of benign lower-limb tumours, MOH benchmarks indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 3,600 – 6,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,000 – 1,600
Hospital or day-surgery charges are additional.

What’s Typically Covered

Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Medically indicated tumour excision
• Anaesthesia and hospitalisation
• Diagnostic pathology

Insurance Tip

Ensure imaging and biopsy reports clearly justify the need for wide margins, not cosmetic removal.

Conclusion

Benign does not mean simple. Surgical complexity drives both cost and insurance relevance.
