ICD-10 Code C81.7 – Other Hodgkin lymphoma (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C81.7 – Other Hodgkin lymphoma
What it is
C81.7 identifies Hodgkin lymphoma that does not fit a more specific subtype. Use it when documentation states “other Hodgkin lymphoma” or describes a Hodgkin lymphoma variant without further classification.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly reported findings in Hodgkin lymphoma include lymph node enlargement, constitutional symptoms, and occasional mediastinal involvement, but you should code only what is documented.
When to use this code
Use C81.7 when the provider documents other Hodgkin lymphoma and does not name a specific histologic subtype. It also fits cases where the record indicates Hodgkin lymphoma but the subtype is not otherwise classifiable. If the chart names a different Hodgkin category, code that instead.
Do not use for
Do not use C81.7 for non-Hodgkin lymphoma or for a clearly documented specific Hodgkin subtype. If the record is unclear, check documentation before assigning a code.
Coding tip
Query for the exact lymphoma subtype whenever possible, because a more specific C81 code may apply.
