KERATOACANTHOMA excision, benign or maligant

I have a path report that came back as KERATOACANTHOMA, it also stated "scc can not be ruled out"

Is this coded as malignant or benign excisions.

I find conflicting information on this.

The provider sent it to pathology thinking it could be either cyst or bcc so I think she had the intent to excise the whole thing, but the pathology came back showing that she did not obtain clear margins.
