Mature T/NK-cell lymphomas
Chapter 2:Neoplasms
ICD-10 C84 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of mature t/nk-cell lymphomas.
Mature T/NK-cell lymphomas encompass a group of hematological malignancies characterized by the proliferation of mature T-lymphocytes or natural killer (NK) cells. This category includes various subtypes such as peripheral T-cell lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, among others. These lymphomas are often aggressive and can present with a wide range of symptoms, including lymphadenopathy, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. The clinical significance of accurately coding these conditions lies in their distinct treatment protocols and prognostic implications, as they may require different therapeutic approaches compared to B-cell lymphomas or other hematological disorders.

C84 includes various mature T/NK-cell lymphomas such as peripheral T-cell lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.
C84 codes should be used when documenting diagnoses of mature T/NK-cell lymphomas, ensuring that the specific subtype is accurately captured.
Documentation should include the specific diagnosis, subtype of lymphoma, clinical findings, and any relevant treatment plans to support the use of C84 codes.
