What This Code Means

A type of blood cancer (follicular lymphoma) affecting multiple lymph node sites throughout the body. This is an advanced grade (grade III) of the disease.

Coding Tips

  • Use this code only when lymph nodes in multiple anatomical regions are involved
  • Document which specific regions are affected for clinical clarity

Clinical Significance

Follicular lymphoma grade III unspecified involving multiple lymph node sites indicates disseminated high-grade disease. Grade III with widespread involvement is managed aggressively with chemoimmunotherapy regimens such as R-CHOP or R-CVP. This presentation carries a higher risk of transformation and requires close surveillance.

Documentation Requirements

  • Pathology confirming grade III follicular lymphoma
  • PET/CT documenting all involved lymph node regions
  • List of all involved anatomic sites
  • FLIPI score and performance status
  • Query for IIIa vs. IIIb subtype from pathology
