ICD-10 Code C82.96 – Follicular lymphoma, unspecified, intrapelvic lymph nodes (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C82.96 – Follicular lymphoma, unspecified, intrapelvic lymph nodes
What it is
C82.96 identifies follicular lymphoma when the site is intrapelvic lymph nodes and the subtype is not further specified. Use it for a documented lymphoma involving pelvic lymph nodes without a more specific follicular lymphoma code.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Follicular lymphoma often presents with painless lymph node enlargement, and pelvic nodal disease may be found on imaging or biopsy.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record clearly states follicular lymphoma in intrapelvic lymph nodes and does not identify a more specific subtype or site. It is appropriate for confirmed diagnoses from pathology, oncology notes, or discharge summaries. Check documentation if the anatomy is uncertain or another nodal region is named.
Do not use for
Do not use it for follicular lymphoma in other lymph node regions or for non-follicular lymphomas. If the note specifies a different histology or a more precise pelvic site, code that instead.
Coding tip
Match both the histology and the nodal location in the documentation before assigning C82.96.
