Mature B-cell leukemia Burkitt-type, in remission

This code signifies a specific type of mature B-cell leukemia, characterized by its Burkitt-type morphology and genetic features, which is currently in a state of remission. Remission indicates that the signs and symptoms of the leukemia have significantly decreased or disappeared, though the disease may not be completely cured.

This code is appropriate when documentation confirms a diagnosis of Burkitt-type mature B-cell leukemia and explicitly states the patient is in remission. This typically follows a course of treatment where the disease activity has subsided. Documentation should clearly differentiate this specific type of leukemia from other B-cell leukemias.

• Ensure documentation specifies "Burkitt-type" and "in remission" to support this code.
• Do not use this code if the patient is in relapse or active disease; instead, use the appropriate code for active disease.
• Consider sequencing this code after any codes for complications or ongoing treatment related to the leukemia, if applicable.
