Lymphoblastic (diffuse) lymphoma, lymph nodes mult site

This code signifies a diagnosis of lymphoblastic lymphoma, a highly aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by the rapid proliferation of immature lymphoid cells. The "diffuse" aspect indicates widespread involvement, and the "multiple sites" specifies that the disease affects lymph nodes in more than one anatomical region.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a diagnosis of lymphoblastic lymphoma with involvement of lymph nodes in various body areas. This typically follows a biopsy and pathological confirmation of the specific lymphoma subtype and its multifocal lymphatic spread.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "lymphoblastic" lymphoma and "multiple sites" of lymph node involvement.
• Do not confuse with other types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma; specificity is key.
• Sequence this code as the primary diagnosis when it is the reason for the encounter, followed by any associated manifestations or complications.
