Lymphocy deplet Hdgkn lymph, nodes of ing rgn and lower limb

This code signifies a rare and aggressive subtype of Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by a scarcity of lymphocytes and an abundance of Reed-Sternberg cells. The diagnosis specifically indicates involvement of the lymph nodes located in the inguinal region and/or the lower limb.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a pathological diagnosis of lymphocyte-depleted Hodgkin lymphoma with clear evidence of primary or metastatic involvement in the inguinal lymph nodes or any lymph nodes within the lower extremities. This diagnosis is typically made following biopsy and histopathological examination.

• Ensure the pathology report explicitly states "lymphocyte depleted" and confirms Hodgkin lymphoma.
• Verify that the anatomical site of involvement is precisely documented as inguinal region or lower limb lymph nodes.
• Do not confuse with other Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes or non-Hodgkin lymphomas; specificity is crucial.
