C49

C49 is an alphanumeric designation used across different systems to label items, categories, or codes. Its meaning is not universal and depends on the context in which it appears, including medicine, transportation, manufacturing, or information technology.

In medicine, C49 is a code in the ICD-10-CM clinical modification used for classifying malignant neoplasms of connective and soft tissue. The category covers cancers arising in soft tissues such as muscle, fat, fascia, nerve, and related structures. Coders assign more specific subcodes based on the tumor’s anatomical site, histology, and other characteristics for medical records, prognosis, and billing.

Beyond medicine, C49 appears as a designation in other systems. Some countries use C49 as a road or route number within regional or national networks. In manufacturing and product catalogs, C49 can function as a model or part identifier, a serial code, or a catalog item number. In information technology or electronics, C49 may appear as a hardware or component code. Because many domains employ similar alphanumeric codes, the exact meaning of C49 must be inferred from the relevant coding scheme or registry in use.
