Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. C46.3 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of kaposi's sarcoma of lymph nodes. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
The tumors have endothelium-lined channels and vascular spaces admixed with variably sized aggregates of spindle-shaped cells, and often remain confined to the skin and subcutaneous tissue, but widespread visceral involvement may occur. Kaposi's sarcoma occurs spontaneously in jewish and italian males in europe and the United States.
Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a cancer that causes patches of abnormal tissue to grow under the skin, in the lining of the mouth, nose, and throat, in lymph nodes, or in other organs. These patches, or lesions, are usually red or purple. They are made of cancer cells, blood vessels, and blood cells.
Kaposi sarcoma generally develops in tissue located below the skin's surface or in the lining of the mouth, nose, or anus. Areas where tissues have abnormal changes are known as Kaposi sarcoma lesions. These lesions usually appear on the skin as raised blotches or nodules.
Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related Kaposi sarcoma (KS) can have a wide variety of clinical presentations, ranging from localized to diffuse cutaneous disease, mucocutaneous lesions, lymphadenopathy, and/or visceral involvement.

There are four different types of KS defined by the different populations it develops in, but the changes within the KS cells are very similar.Epidemic (AIDS-associated) Kaposi sarcoma. ... Classic (Mediterranean) Kaposi sarcoma. ... Endemic (African) Kaposi sarcoma. ... Iatrogenic (transplant-related) Kaposi sarcoma.
What causes Kaposi sarcoma? Kaposi sarcoma is always caused by an infection with a virus called human herpesvirus 8, which is also known as Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). The virus, which is in the same family as Epstein-Barr virus, is rare in the United States.
Lymphedema of the lower extremities is a frequent complication of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). Compressive therapy is the basis of treatment for lymphatic disorders, but to the authors' knowledge, there are no controlled trials to evaluate its effectiveness in KS-related lymphedema.
D17.22 for Benign lipomatous neoplasm of skin and subcutaneous tissue of limb is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Neoplasms .
The cause of lipomas is largely unknown. There may be a genetic cause in people with multiple lipomas. Around 2 to 3 percent of people who develop a lipoma have a family history of the condition. Some research suggests that lipomas may develop in an area where an injury has caused a significant impact.

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, ...
In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.

The ICD code C46 is used to code Vascular tissue neoplasm. A vascular tissue neoplasm is a tumor arising from endothelial cells, the cells that line the wall of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, as well as the heart. Vascular tissue neoplasms is a group containing tumors with the same tissue origin; in other words, ...
Vascular tissue neoplasms is a group containing tumors with the same tissue origin; in other words, it denotes histological classification, rather than anatomic (i.e. where in the body the neoplasm is found) or clinical one. They can occur everywhere in the body where vessels are to be found. MeSH Codes:
