Malignant neoplasm of pelvic bones, sacrum and coccyx
ICD-10 C41.4 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of pelvic bones, sacrum and coccyx.
C41.4 refers to malignant neoplasms located in the pelvic bones, sacrum, and coccyx, which are often classified as bone sarcomas. These tumors can arise from various types of cells within the bone, including osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and fibroblasts. Imaging characteristics typically include lytic lesions, periosteal reactions, and soft tissue masses visible on X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs. The diagnosis often requires a combination of imaging studies and histopathological examination. Multidisciplinary management is crucial, involving orthopedic surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists to ensure comprehensive care. Treatment may include surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, depending on the tumor type, stage, and patient health. Early detection and accurate staging are vital for improving outcomes, as these tumors can be aggressive and may metastasize to other areas of the body.
