ICD-10 Code C82.60 – Cutaneous follicle center lymphoma, unspecified site (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C82.60 – Cutaneous follicle center lymphoma, unspecified site
What it is
C82.60 identifies cutaneous follicle center lymphoma when the site is not specified. It is a skin-based B-cell lymphoma that you code when documentation names this diagnosis without a more precise location.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical records describe one or more skin lesions, often papules, plaques, or nodules, with pathology confirming follicle center lymphoma involving the skin.
When to use this code
Use C82.60 when the provider documents cutaneous follicle center lymphoma and does not identify a specific anatomic site. You may also use it when the record confirms the diagnosis but the lesion location is left unspecified. If laterality or site is documented elsewhere, code to the most specific option available.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for systemic follicular lymphoma without skin involvement. Do not assign it if the chart only says “lymphoma” or gives a different cutaneous lymphoma subtype; check documentation.
Coding tip
Match the code to the exact pathology wording and site detail; unspecified site means you should not assume a more specific skin location.
