The ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index is designed to allow medical coders to look up various medical terms and connect them with the appropriate ICD codes. There are 6 terms under the parent term 'Fibrosarcoma' in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index .
The ICD code C49 is used to code Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a very rare tumor. It is a rare neoplasm of the dermis layer of the skin, and is classified as a sarcoma. There is only about one case per million per year. DFSP is a fibrosarcoma, more precisely a cutaneous soft tissue sarcoma.

Overview. Soft tissue sarcoma is a broad term for cancers that start in soft tissues (muscle, tendons, fat, lymph and blood vessels, and nerves). These cancers can develop anywhere in the body but are found mostly in the arms, legs, chest, and abdomen.
ICD-10-CM Code for Soft tissue disorder, unspecified M79. 9.
Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) is a rare type of cancer that begins mostly in the soft tissues of the body. Soft tissues connect, support and surround other body structures. UPS usually occurs in the arms or legs. Less often it can happen in the area behind the abdominal organs (retroperitoneum).
Listen to pronunciation. (un-DIH-feh-REN-shee-AY-ted sar-KOH-muh) A group of rare cancers that do not look like other types of sarcomas under a microscope and may be hard to diagnose. They usually form in the muscles that are attached to bones and that help the body move.
Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common type of soft tissue sarcoma seen in children. See Rhabdomyosarcoma. Synovial sarcoma is a malignant tumor of the tissue around joints. The most common locations are the hip, knee, ankle, and shoulder.
In the 2020 WHO classification, the term “smooth muscle tumor of uncertain malignant potential” has been designated and classified as an intermediate tumor category. The term “leiomyoma of deep soft tissue” has been changed to “leiomyoma NOS.”
Soft tissue sarcomas are cancerous (malignant) tumors that originate in the soft tissues of your body. This illustration shows a soft tissue sarcoma of the thigh muscle just above the knee. Soft tissue sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that begins in the tissues that connect, support and surround other body structures.
ICD-10 code: M79. 89 Other specified soft tissue disorders Site unspecified.
INTRODUCTION. Soft tissue musculoskeletal disorders refer to nonsystemic, focal pathologic syndromes involving the periarticular tissues, including muscle, tendon, ligament, fascia, aponeurosis, retinaculum, bursa, and subcutaneous tissue. These disorders are extremely common.
M79. 89 - Other specified soft tissue disorders | ICD-10-CM.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.
All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a very rare tumor. It is a rare neoplasm of the dermis layer of the skin, and is classified as a sarcoma. There is only about one case per million per year. DFSP is a fibrosarcoma, more precisely a cutaneous soft tissue sarcoma.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code C49.10 and a single ICD9 code, 171.2 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code C49 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the nine child codes of C49 that describes the diagnosis 'malignant neoplasm of other connective and soft tissue' in more detail.
Malignant neoplasm of heart - instead, use code C38.0. Malignant neoplasm of peripheral nerves and autonomic nervous system - instead, use code C47.-. Malignant neoplasm of peritoneum - instead, use code C48.2. Malignant neoplasm of retroperitoneum - instead, use code C48.0.

In many respects, the disease behaves as a benign tumor, but in 2–5% of cases it can metastasize, so it should be considered to have malignant potential. It occurs most often in adults in their thirties; it has been described congenitally, in children, and the elderly.
