Echinococcus multilocularis infection of liver

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A parasitic infection caused by a different tapeworm species (multilocularis) that forms multiple small cysts in the liver, typically more aggressive than granulosus infection.

Coding Tips

  • •Distinguish from B67.0 (granulosus) as multilocularis infections are typically more severe and invasive
  • •Document the extent of liver involvement and any complications such as cirrhosis or liver failure
