Nodular lymphocyte predom Hodgkin lymphoma, intrapelv nodes

This code signifies a specific type of Hodgkin lymphoma, characterized by a nodular growth pattern and a predominance of lymphocytes, located within the lymph nodes of the pelvic region. It represents a less aggressive form of Hodgkin lymphoma compared to classical types.

Use this code for patients diagnosed with nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) where imaging (e.g., CT, MRI) or biopsy confirms involvement of lymph nodes situated within the pelvis. Documentation should clearly specify the subtype of Hodgkin lymphoma and the intrapelvic location.

• Ensure the pathology report explicitly states "nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma" to differentiate from classical Hodgkin lymphoma.
• Verify the anatomical site is specifically "intrapelvic lymph nodes" to avoid confusion with other lymph node regions.
• This code is highly specific; do not use for unspecified Hodgkin lymphoma or other lymphoma types.
