I have an ICD10 question for the group...
The pathology report states:
Malignant, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, B-cell type, Follicular Lymphoma, Grade 2 in a lymph node in the neck
Should I code this as:
C82.11 - Follicular lymphoma grade II, lymph nodes of head, face and neck
OR
C82.91 - Follicular lymphoma, unspecified, lymph nodes of head, face and neck
I am confused because in the group C82.2 the description has BOTH the grade and the fact that it is unspecified. But the C82.0, C82.1, C82.3, C82.4 groups do not.
IF the book had C82.1_ as follicular lymphoma grade II unspecified - then that would be the clear choice. But the way it is listed is confusing me.
I am leaning toward C82.11 - but want some opinions, please!
