About C47
C47 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for malignant neoplasm of peripheral nerves and autonomic nervous system. It belongs to block C45-C49 (malignant neoplasms of mesothelial and soft tissue) and chapter 2 (neoplasms). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 9 subcodes must be used instead.
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: C47.0 (neck), C47.1 (shoulder), C47.2 (hip), C47.3 (thorax), C47.4 (abdomen), C47.5 (pelvis), C47.6 (unspecified), C47.8 (system) and 1 more.
Don't report C47 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: Kaposi's sarcoma of soft tissue (C46.1).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
