Lymphocyte-rich Hodgkin lymphoma, lymph nodes mult site

This code signifies a diagnosis of lymphocyte-rich classical Hodgkin lymphoma affecting lymph nodes in multiple anatomical regions. This is a specific subtype of Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by a high proportion of lymphocytes and a relatively low number of Reed-Sternberg cells.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a pathological diagnosis of lymphocyte-rich Hodgkin lymphoma with involvement of lymph nodes in two or more non-contiguous sites. This typically follows biopsy and staging procedures that identify widespread nodal disease.

• Ensure the pathology report explicitly states "lymphocyte-rich" subtype and "multiple sites" or specific non-contiguous nodal involvement.
• Do not use this code for other Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes or for single-site involvement.
• Always sequence this code as the primary diagnosis when it is the reason for the encounter or admission.
