C46.9 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of kaposi's sarcoma, unspecified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


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, 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.
