ICD-10 Code C81.76 – Other Hodgkin lymphoma, intrapelvic lymph nodes (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C81.76 – Other Hodgkin lymphoma, intrapelvic lymph nodes
What it is
C81.76 identifies Hodgkin lymphoma involving the intrapelvic lymph nodes, with the subtype classified as other Hodgkin lymphoma. Use it when the record specifies pelvic nodal involvement and does not name a different Hodgkin subtype.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Hodgkin lymphoma may present with enlarged lymph nodes, constitutional symptoms, or imaging/biopsy findings showing pelvic nodal disease.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents other Hodgkin lymphoma affecting intrapelvic lymph nodes, such as on pathology, oncology, or discharge notes. It is appropriate when the site is clearly pelvic and no more specific nodal location is stated.
If the chart only says Hodgkin lymphoma without anatomic detail, check documentation before coding C81.76. Use the code only when intrapelvic lymph node involvement is supported by the record.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for Hodgkin lymphoma in nonpelvic nodes, unspecified sites, or non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Check documentation if the provider names a different Hodgkin subtype.
Coding tip
Code the documented lymph node site exactly; if “intrapelvic” is not stated, query or code the unspecified option only when supported.
