Foliclar lymph grade I, nodes of ing region and lower limb

This code signifies a slow-growing type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, specifically follicular lymphoma, that is classified as Grade I. The disease is localized to the lymph nodes found in the groin area and the lower extremities. Grade I indicates a low-grade malignancy with a more indolent course.

Use this code when diagnostic pathology reports confirm follicular lymphoma, Grade I, and imaging or physical examination findings specify involvement of lymph nodes in the inguinal region or lower limb. This code is appropriate for initial diagnosis, staging, and ongoing management of this specific presentation. Documentation should clearly state the grade and anatomical location.

• Ensure the pathology report explicitly states "follicular lymphoma Grade I" to differentiate from other grades or types of lymphoma.
• Verify the anatomical site of involvement is precisely "inguinal region and lower limb" to avoid miscoding other lymph node locations.
• Always sequence this code after any applicable Z codes for personal history of malignant neoplasm if the patient is in remission, or as a primary diagnosis if actively being treated.
