Malignant neoplasm of peripheral nerves of pelvis
ICD-10 C47.5 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of peripheral nerves of pelvis.
C47.5 refers to malignant neoplasms that arise from the peripheral nerves located in the pelvis. These tumors are classified as soft tissue sarcomas, which are cancers that originate in the connective tissues of the body. Peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs), including malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs), can develop in the pelvis and may be associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). The clinical presentation often includes pain, neurological deficits, and palpable masses. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans, followed by biopsy for histological confirmation. Grading of these tumors is crucial, as it influences treatment decisions and prognosis. Multidisciplinary management is essential, involving surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, depending on the tumor's size, location, and grade. The complexity of managing these tumors necessitates collaboration among oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, and pathologists to optimize patient outcomes.
