Follicular lymphoma grade II, in remission

This code signifies a follicular lymphoma, specifically grade II, that is currently in remission. Follicular lymphoma is a slow-growing type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma originating from B-lymphocytes, and grade II indicates an intermediate level of cellular differentiation. "In remission" means the signs and symptoms of the cancer have significantly decreased or disappeared.

Use this code when a patient has a documented history of follicular lymphoma, grade II, and current clinical and/or pathological findings confirm the disease is in remission. This typically applies to follow-up encounters after successful treatment, where surveillance for recurrence is ongoing. Documentation should clearly state the grade of lymphoma and the current remission status.

• Always confirm the specific grade of follicular lymphoma (e.g., grade I, II, III) as this impacts code selection.
• Ensure documentation explicitly states "in remission" to differentiate from active disease or history of.
• Sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis when the primary reason for the encounter is surveillance or management of complications related to the lymphoma or its treatment.
