Oth types of non-hodg lymph, extrnod and solid organ sites

This code signifies a diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that originates in or has spread to sites outside of the lymphatic system, such as the gastrointestinal tract, skin, bone, or central nervous system. It is used when the specific subtype of NHL is known but does not fit into other, more specific categories of extranodal NHL.

Apply this code when documentation clearly identifies a non-Hodgkin lymphoma affecting extranodal or solid organ sites, and the specific type of NHL is documented as "other specified." This typically occurs when pathology reports confirm a rare or unusual presentation of NHL not otherwise classified.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "other specified" non-Hodgkin lymphoma affecting extranodal or solid organ sites.
• Do not use this code if a more specific extranodal NHL subtype (e.g., cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, primary central nervous system lymphoma) is documented.
• Always sequence this code as the primary diagnosis when it is the reason for the encounter, followed by codes for any associated symptoms or complications.
