Follicular lymphoma, unspecified, in remission

This code signifies a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that originates from B-lymphocytes in the follicular centers of lymph nodes, where the disease is currently in a state of remission. It indicates that the patient previously had follicular lymphoma, but there is no current evidence of active disease.

This code is appropriate for patients with a documented history of follicular lymphoma who are currently free of disease, either due to successful treatment or spontaneous remission. Documentation should clearly state "follicular lymphoma in remission" or similar phrasing indicating the absence of active disease.

• Always ensure documentation explicitly states "in remission" for follicular lymphoma.
• Do not use this code if there is any evidence of active disease; instead, code the active follicular lymphoma.
• Consider sequencing this code after any codes for current treatment or surveillance, if applicable.
