Mantle cell lymphoma, in remission

This code signifies a malignant neoplasm of B-lymphocytes, specifically mantle cell lymphoma, that is currently in a state of remission. Remission indicates a significant decrease or disappearance of the signs and symptoms of the cancer, though it does not necessarily mean a cure. This is a rare, aggressive type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma and explicitly confirms the patient is in remission. This is typically used for patients undergoing follow-up care after successful treatment, such as chemotherapy, radiation, or stem cell transplant, where no active disease is currently detectable.

• Always confirm the specific type of lymphoma (mantle cell) and the remission status from the physician's documentation.
• Do not use this code if the lymphoma is active or if the remission status is not explicitly stated.
• Sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis if the patient is receiving treatment for a complication or sequela of the lymphoma or its treatment.
