Burkitt lymphoma, intra-abdominal lymph nodes

This code signifies a specific type of high-grade B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, that is primarily located within the lymph nodes of the abdominal cavity. It is characterized by rapid growth and often presents with a large abdominal mass.

Use this code when documentation explicitly states a diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma with involvement of intra-abdominal lymph nodes. This typically applies to patients undergoing diagnostic workup, treatment, or follow-up for this specific malignancy. Supporting documentation would include pathology reports confirming Burkitt lymphoma and imaging studies or surgical reports detailing intra-abdominal lymph node involvement.

• Ensure the pathology report specifically identifies Burkitt lymphoma, not just a general B-cell lymphoma.
• Confirm the anatomical site of involvement is intra-abdominal lymph nodes; do not use for extra-abdominal sites or unspecified lymph node involvement.
• Code any associated symptoms or complications, such as abdominal pain or obstruction, as secondary diagnoses.
