What This Code Means

A slow-growing type of lymphoma called follicular lymphoma grade I located in the lymph nodes within the abdominal cavity.

Coding Tips

  • Intra-abdominal lymph nodes include mesenteric, retroperitoneal, and other abdominal nodes
  • Document imaging findings that confirm abdominal lymph node involvement

Clinical Significance

Follicular lymphoma grade I in intra-abdominal lymph nodes represents involvement of mesenteric, retroperitoneal, or other abdominal lymph node chains. Abdominal involvement is common in follicular lymphoma and often indicates at least stage II disease. Monitoring for bowel obstruction or compression symptoms is clinically relevant.

Documentation Requirements

  • Pathology confirming follicular lymphoma grade I
  • Imaging (CT abdomen/pelvis, PET/CT) documenting specific abdominal lymph node chains involved
  • Size measurements of dominant lymph node masses for treatment response assessment
  • Ann Arbor staging documentation
  • Treatment status and surveillance schedule
