ICD-10 Code C83.7 – Burkitt lymphoma (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C83.7 – Burkitt lymphoma
What it is
C83.7 identifies Burkitt lymphoma, a fast-growing non-Hodgkin lymphoma of B-cell origin. Use it for documented Burkitt lymphoma, including cases specified as endemic, sporadic, or immunodeficiency-associated when the record does not provide a more specific code.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly recorded findings include rapidly enlarging lymph nodes, abdominal or jaw masses, and other signs of aggressive lymphoma. Pathology or oncology documentation usually confirms the diagnosis.
When to use this code
Use C83.7 when the provider documents Burkitt lymphoma as the confirmed diagnosis. Apply it for inpatient, outpatient, or cancer registry documentation when the record names Burkitt lymphoma without a more specific site or subtype code. Check documentation if the note only says “non-Hodgkin lymphoma” or “B-cell lymphoma.”
Do not use for
Do not use C83.7 for other non-Hodgkin lymphomas, leukemias, or unspecified lymphoid malignancies. If the documentation does not clearly state Burkitt lymphoma, code the condition actually documented.
Coding tip
Verify the exact lymphoma type in pathology or oncology notes before assigning C83.7.
