What This Code Means

Kaposi's sarcoma occurring in body locations other than the skin, mouth, lymph nodes, or lungs.

Coding Tips

•Use this code for less common sites such as gastrointestinal tract, liver, or other organs; document the specific site in the medical record.
•Ensure the primary site is not better classified under other C46 codes before assigning this code.

Clinical Significance

Kaposi sarcoma of other sites captures involvement of anatomical locations not classified under the more specific C46.0-C46.5 codes, such as liver, spleen, heart, or other visceral organs. This code reflects unusual or multi-organ involvement that typically indicates advanced, disseminated disease.

Documentation Requirements

✓Specific anatomical site of Kaposi sarcoma involvement (liver, spleen, heart, etc.)
✓Pathology or imaging confirmation at the specified site
✓Immunodeficiency status and treatment
✓Assessment of disease extent and staging
✓Verification that the site is not better classified under C46.0-C46.52

Commonly Confused Codes

C46.0-C46.52 (Site-specific Kaposi sarcoma codes) — verify the site does not have its own specific code before using C46.7 C46.9 (Kaposi sarcoma, unspecified) — C46.7 is for a KNOWN site that is 'other,' not for unknown sites C80.0 (Disseminated malignant neoplasm, unspecified) — use specific Kaposi codes, not the general disseminated code C46.4 (Kaposi sarcoma of gastrointestinal sites) — if the site is gastrointestinal, use C46.4 instead
