ICD-10 Code C85.87 – Other specified types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, spleen (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C85.87 – Other specified types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, spleen
What it is
This code identifies a non-Hodgkin lymphoma involving the spleen that does not fit a more specific lymphoma category. Use it when the record clearly names an “other specified” type and the spleen is the site.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Patients may have splenic enlargement, abdominal discomfort, or findings of lymphoma involving the spleen on imaging or pathology.
When to use this code
Use C85.87 when the provider documents a specific non-Hodgkin lymphoma type as “other specified” and states the spleen is involved. It fits cases where the lymphoma is not coded elsewhere in the lymphoma category.
Choose this code from the final diagnostic statement, pathology report, or problem list when the splenic site is explicit. Check documentation if the record only says lymphoma without type or location.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for Hodgkin lymphoma, unspecified lymphoma, or non-Hodgkin lymphoma at a different site. Check documentation if the spleen involvement is not stated.
Coding tip
Verify both the lymphoma subtype and splenic site before assigning C85.87.
