Follicular lymphoma grade III, unspecified
ICD-10 C82.2 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of follicular lymphoma grade iii, unspecified.
Follicular lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by the proliferation of B-lymphocytes in a follicular pattern. Grade III follicular lymphoma is a more aggressive form of this disease, indicating a higher proliferation rate and a tendency to transform into a more aggressive lymphoma. Patients may present with lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, and systemic symptoms. The disease is often classified based on the presence of B-symptoms, which include fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of imaging studies, biopsy, and histological examination. Treatment options vary based on the stage of the disease and may include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy. The prognosis for patients with grade III follicular lymphoma can vary significantly, depending on the individual’s overall health, response to treatment, and specific disease characteristics.
