Lymphocyte-rich Hodgkin lymphoma, spleen

This code represents a specific subtype of Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by a predominance of lymphocytes and a sparse number of classic Reed-Sternberg cells, affecting the spleen. It is a rare form of Hodgkin lymphoma with distinct pathological features.

Use this code when documentation explicitly states a diagnosis of lymphocyte-rich Hodgkin lymphoma with splenic involvement. This diagnosis is typically confirmed through biopsy and histopathological examination of splenic tissue or imaging findings indicative of splenic lymphoma in the context of a confirmed lymphocyte-rich Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosis.

• Ensure documentation specifies "lymphocyte-rich" subtype and confirms splenic involvement.
• Do not confuse with other Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes or non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
• Code additional sites of involvement if documented, following sequencing guidelines for neoplasms.
