Other Hodgkin lymphoma, nodes of ing region and lower limb

This code signifies a diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma that does not fit into other specified categories, specifically affecting the lymph nodes located in the inguinal region (groin) and/or the lower limbs. It indicates a primary or secondary involvement of these particular lymphatic sites by this type of lymphoma.

Use this code when documentation clearly states a diagnosis of "other Hodgkin lymphoma" with specific involvement of lymph nodes in the inguinal region or lower limb. This applies to cases where the specific subtype of Hodgkin lymphoma is not further classified (e.g., nodular sclerosis, mixed cellularity) but the anatomical location is precisely identified.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "other Hodgkin lymphoma" and explicitly mentions involvement of inguinal or lower limb lymph nodes.
• Do not use this code if a more specific subtype of Hodgkin lymphoma is documented (e.g., C81.15 for nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma of inguinal lymph nodes).
• Always sequence this code after any codes for the primary malignancy if this represents a secondary site of involvement.
