Other Hodgkin lymphoma, intrathoracic lymph nodes

This code signifies a diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma that does not fit into the classic or nodular lymphocyte-predominant subtypes, and specifically involves lymph nodes located within the chest cavity. This includes mediastinal, hilar, and other intrathoracic lymph node groups affected by this less common form of Hodgkin lymphoma.

Use this code when the pathology report confirms a diagnosis of "other" or "unspecified" Hodgkin lymphoma, and imaging or biopsy definitively identifies involvement of intrathoracic lymph nodes. Documentation must clearly specify the subtype as neither classic nor nodular lymphocyte-predominant, and localize the disease to the chest.

• Ensure the pathology report explicitly states "other Hodgkin lymphoma" or a similar non-specific subtype, and not classic or nodular lymphocyte-predominant.
• Verify that the documentation clearly indicates involvement of intrathoracic lymph nodes (e.g., mediastinal, hilar).
• Always sequence this code after any codes for the specific type of Hodgkin lymphoma if known and more specific, or as the primary diagnosis if this is the most specific information available.
