Lymp-rich Hodgkin lymphoma, nodes of axilla and upper limb

This diagnosis code identifies a specific subtype of Hodgkin lymphoma, characterized by a predominance of lymphocytes, affecting the lymph nodes located in the axilla and/or upper limb. It signifies a primary malignant neoplasm originating in the lymphatic system with a particular histological presentation and anatomical involvement.

Use this code when documentation confirms a pathological diagnosis of lymphocyte-rich Hodgkin lymphoma. The medical record must explicitly state involvement of lymph nodes in the axillary region or any part of the upper limb. This code is appropriate for initial diagnosis, active treatment, or follow-up care for this specific cancer.

• Ensure the pathology report specifically identifies "lymphocyte-rich" Hodgkin lymphoma, not other subtypes.
• Verify the anatomical site of involvement is precisely documented as axillary or upper limb lymph nodes.
• Do not confuse with other Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes (e.g., nodular sclerosis, mixed cellularity) or non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
