What is retroperitoneal sarcoma? Sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that develops from the body's connective tissues, such as fat, muscle, blood vessels and fibrous tissue. About 20% of sarcomas develop in the back of the abdomen, also known as the retroperitoneum, next to the kidneys.

INTRODUCTION. Retroperitoneal masses constitute a heterogeneous group of lesions, originating in the retroperitoneal spaces, that pose a diagnostic challenge for radiologists(1). The majority of cases are malignant tumors, of which approximately 75% are mesenchymal in origin(2-4).
A: Hemoperitoneum is defined as the presence of blood in the peritoneal cavity that accumulates in the space between the inner lining of the abdominal wall and the internal abdominal organs. Code K66.
C49. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM C49. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The dedifferentiated liposarcoma refers to a condition in which well and poorly differentiated liposarcoma and non-lipomatous sarcoma coexist in one tumor. This type has a vague prognosis compared to other types of sarcoma, and making the histological diagnosis can be difficult.
Retroperitoneal sarcomas occur in the retroperitoneum. The retroperitoneum is deep in the abdomen (tummy) and pelvis, behind the abdominal lining, where organs such as the major blood vessels, kidneys, pancreas and bladder are located.
Conclusion: Retroperitoneal lipoma is a very rare variant of lipoma, presents with various signs and symptoms that may be misleading. Radiologic imaging especially CT scan is the diagnostic tool of choice. Surgical resection is the main modality of management.
The area in the back of the abdomen behind the peritoneum (the tissue that lines the abdominal wall and covers most of the organs in the abdomen). The organs in the retroperitoneum include the adrenal glands, aorta, kidneys, esophagus, ureters, pancreas, rectum, and parts of the stomach and colon.

Retroperitoneal injuries include duodenal, pancreatic, vascular, renal, and adrenal injuries. Abnormal blood, fluid, or air within the retroperitoneal spaces may be isolated findings but can also occur in association with these injuries, and their recognition is the key to correctly identifying the injury.
EtiologyPenetrating trauma leading to retroperitoneal hematoma is commonly the result of lower energy mechanisms such as gunshot wounds or stabbings. ... Iatrogenic retroperitoneal hematomas are the result of percutaneous interventions (PCI) or endovascular procedures.More items...•
C48.0 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of retroperitoneum. The code C48.0 is valid during the fiscal year 2022 from October 01, 2021 through September 30, 2022 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
C48.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of retroperitoneum. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.

The code C48.0 is included in the table of neoplasms by anatomical site. For each site there are six possible code numbers according to whether the neoplasm in question is malignant, benign, in situ, of uncertain behavior, or of unspecified nature. The description of the neoplasm will often indicate which of the six columns is appropriate.#N#Where such descriptors are not present, the remainder of the Index should be consulted where guidance is given to the appropriate column for each morphological (histological) variety listed. However, the guidance in the Index can be overridden if one of the descriptors mentioned above is present.
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code: 1 Extrarenal rhabdoid tumor 2 Liposarcoma of retroperitoneum 3 Malignant neoplasm of perinephric tissue 4 Malignant neoplasm of retrocecal tissue 5 Malignant retroperitoneal tumor 6 Malignant teratoma 7 Malignant teratoma of retroperitoneum 8 Neoplasm of periadrenal tissue 9 Neoplasm of perirenal tissue 10 Neoplasm of retrocecal tissue 11 Primary giant cell sarcoma of retroperitoneum 12 Primary leiomyosarcoma of retroperitoneum 13 Primary liposarcoma of retroperitoneum 14 Primary malignant neoplasm of periadrenal tissue 15 Primary malignant neoplasm of perirenal tissue 16 Primary malignant neoplasm of retrocecal tissue 17 Primary malignant neoplasm of retroperitoneum 18 Primary sarcoma of retroperitoneum 19 Retroperitoneal sarcoma
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.
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, ...

The treatment for liposarcoma depends on the type, size, and location of the tumor, recurrence, and spread (metastasis) of the tumor. A combination of surgery and radiation therapy is most often used. SUGGESTED PROGRAMMATIC ASSESSMENT*. Suggested MER for Evaluation:
Physical findings: People with a liposarcoma may present with: •. Painless swelling or a mass on the body that tends to be large, firm, and near underlying structures; •. Pain or soreness caused by compressed nerves or muscles; •. Limping or difficulties using the legs, feet, arms or hands; and. •.
PROGRESSION. Liposarcomas most often occur in people between the ages of 40 years of age to 60 years of age . It may also occur in children during the teenage years. The prognosis of liposarcoma varies and is based on the size, location, and recurrence of the tumors. TREATMENT.
Liposarcomas occur in tissue that is elastic and easily moved causing the tumors to exist a long time before symptoms become evident. Liposarcomas may start out as benign tumors, but later become malignant tumors and grow into surrounding tissues or organs.
Liposarcoma that is metastatic or recurrent is considered an aggressive tumor because it often spreads to other parts of the body. Some subtypes are prone to metastasis or recurrence.
