Follicular lymphoma grade I, spleen
ICD-10 C82.07 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of follicular lymphoma grade i, spleen.
Follicular lymphoma grade I is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by the proliferation of follicle center (germinal center) B-cells. This indolent form of lymphoma typically presents with painless lymphadenopathy and may involve the spleen, bone marrow, and other lymphoid tissues. The spleen can become enlarged (splenomegaly) due to the accumulation of malignant lymphocytes. Patients may present with B-symptoms, which include fever, night sweats, and unexplained weight loss, although these symptoms are less common in grade I cases. Diagnosis is confirmed through histopathological examination of lymph node or spleen biopsy, showing a predominance of small cleaved cells. Staging is crucial and follows the Ann Arbor classification, which assesses the extent of disease spread. Treatment options may include watchful waiting for asymptomatic patients, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation therapy, depending on the disease stage and patient health. The prognosis for grade I follicular lymphoma is generally favorable, with many patients experiencing long periods of remission.
