Sarcoidosis of lung with sarcoidosis of lymph nodes

This code signifies a systemic inflammatory condition characterized by the presence of granulomas in both the pulmonary system and the lymphatic system. It describes sarcoidosis affecting the lungs concurrently with involvement of the lymph nodes, indicating a multi-organ presentation of the disease.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states sarcoidosis affecting both the lungs and lymph nodes. This is appropriate for patients diagnosed with pulmonary sarcoidosis who also exhibit evidence of lymphadenopathy due to sarcoidosis, confirmed by biopsy or imaging.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies both lung and lymph node involvement; do not use if only one site is mentioned.
• Distinguish from codes for sarcoidosis affecting only the lung (D86.0) or only lymph nodes (D86.1).
• Consider additional codes for specific symptoms or complications related to the sarcoidosis, such as respiratory failure or hypercalcemia.
