Wide Removal Of A Pelvis Or Hip Area Tumor

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 27049

Extensive surgical removal of a tumor from the soft tissue of the pelvis or hip area, taking a margin of surrounding healthy tissue along with the growth itself rather than just the visible lump. This wider approach is typically used when a tumor is cancerous or behaving aggressively, rather than for a straightforward benign growth, to reduce the chance it returns after removal.
