Clinical Information

• Chondrosarcoma-. a slowly growing malignant neoplasm derived from cartilage cells, occurring most frequently in pelvic bones or near the ends of long bones, in middle-aged and old people. most chondrosarcomas arise de novo, but some may develop in a preexisting benign cartilaginous lesion or in patients with enchondromatosis. (stedman, 25th ed)
• Chondrosarcoma, Clear Cell-. a chondrosarcoma of adolescence to old age of the proximal epiphyses of long bones. it has variably clear cytoplasm of the mostly neoplastic chondrocytes with little intervening matrix.
• Chondrosarcoma, Mesenchymal-. a rare aggressive variant of chondrosarcoma, characterized by a biphasic histologic pattern of small compact cells intermixed with islands of cartilaginous matrix. mesenchymal chondrosarcomas have a predilection for flat bones; long tubular bones are rarely affected. they tend to occur in the younger age group and are highly metastatic. (devita jr et al., cancer: principles & practice of oncology, 3d ed, p1456)
• Enchondromatosis-. benign growths of cartilage in the metaphyses of several bones.

Diagnostic Related Groups - MS-DRG Mapping

The is diagnosis code is grouped in the following groups for version MS-DRG V40.0 What are Diagnostic Related Groups?
The Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGs) are a patient classification scheme which provides a means of relating the type of patients a hospital treats. The DRGs divides all possible principal diagnoses into mutually exclusive principal diagnosis areas referred to as Major Diagnostic Categories (MDC). applicable from 10/01/2022 through 09/30/2023.

Cancer

Cancer begins in your cells, which are the building blocks of your body. Normally, your body forms new cells as you need them, replacing old cells that die. Sometimes this process goes wrong. New cells grow even when you don't need them, and old cells don't die when they should. These extra cells can form a mass called a tumor. Tumors can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors aren't cancer while malignant ones are. Cells from malignant tumors can invade nearby tissues. They can also break away and spread to other parts of the body.

Cancer is not just one disease but many diseases. There are more than 100 different types of cancer. Most cancers are named for where they start. For example, lung cancer starts in the lung, and breast cancer starts in the breast. The spread of cancer from one part of the body to another is called metastasis. Symptoms and treatment depend on the cancer type and how advanced it is. Most treatment plans may include surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy. Some may involve hormone therapy, immunotherapy or other types of biologic therapy, or stem cell transplantation.
