ICD-10 Code C83.71 – Burkitt lymphoma, lymph nodes of head, face, and neck (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C83.71 – Burkitt lymphoma, lymph nodes of head, face, and neck
What it is
C83.71 identifies Burkitt lymphoma involving lymph nodes in the head, face, or neck. Use it when documentation specifies this anatomic site and the Burkitt lymphoma subtype.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Burkitt lymphoma typically presents as a rapidly enlarging mass, often with lymph node enlargement in the stated region.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents Burkitt lymphoma in lymph nodes of the head, face, or neck. It fits confirmed diagnoses, pathology reports, or oncology assessments naming this site. If the record only says lymphoma or a different Burkitt site, check documentation before assigning C83.71.
Do not use for
Do not use it for unspecified lymphoma, other non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or Burkitt lymphoma at a different anatomic site. If the location is not documented clearly, check documentation.
Coding tip
Match both the lymphoma subtype and the exact lymph node location before coding C83.71.
