What This Code Means

A slow-growing cancer of lymph cells (follicular lymphoma, grade I) affecting lymph nodes in the pelvis area.

Coding Tips

  • Grade I indicates the lowest grade of follicular lymphoma with the best prognosis
  • The sixth character '6' specifically identifies intrapelvic lymph nodes as the primary site

Clinical Significance

Follicular lymphoma grade I involving intrapelvic lymph nodes indicates deep pelvic nodal disease typically identified on cross-sectional imaging rather than physical examination. Intrapelvic involvement may be asymptomatic or cause urinary/bowel symptoms depending on nodal size. This anatomic specificity is critical for radiation field planning if treatment is indicated.

Documentation Requirements

  • Pathology confirming follicular lymphoma grade I
  • CT or PET/CT imaging documenting intrapelvic lymph node involvement (iliac, obturator, presacral nodes)
  • Ann Arbor staging with attention to above/below diaphragm involvement
  • Assessment for compressive symptoms (urinary obstruction, lower extremity edema)
  • Treatment plan documentation
