0.000What This Code Means
A type of blood cancer (non-follicular lymphoma) that has spread to organs outside the lymph node system, such as the liver, lungs, or other solid organs.
Coding Tips
- •Identify and document the specific extranodal sites involved for treatment planning
- •This code indicates more advanced disease; verify staging information in medical record
Clinical Significance
Other non-follicular lymphoma at extranodal and solid organ sites indicates the lymphoma has spread beyond the lymph node system into solid organs such as the gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow, central nervous system, liver, or lungs. Extranodal lymphoma often presents unique diagnostic and treatment challenges, including the need for organ-specific treatment approaches. This code captures advanced disease complexity.
Documentation Requirements
- ✓Pathology confirming non-follicular lymphoma subtype
- ✓Documentation of specific extranodal organs involved
- ✓Imaging or biopsy confirming organ involvement
- ✓Staging reflecting extranodal disease
- ✓Treatment plan addressing organ-specific involvement
Commonly Confused Codes
C83.88 — Other non-follicular lymphoma, multiple sites: C83.88 is for multiple lymph node regions; C83.89 is for non-nodal organ involvementC83.87 — Other non-follicular lymphoma, spleen: Splenic involvement has its own dedicated code separate from the general extranodal codeC78-C79 series — Secondary malignant neoplasms: Do not use metastasis codes for lymphoma organ involvement; lymphoma is a systemic disease coded with its primary code
