ICD-10 Code C86.60 – Primary cutaneous CD30-positive T-cell proliferations not having achieved remission (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C86.60 – Primary cutaneous CD30-positive T-cell proliferations not having achieved remission
What it is
This code identifies a primary skin-based T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder with CD30 positivity that is documented as not in remission. Use it when the record clearly states the diagnosis and active disease status.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly, records describe persistent or recurrent cutaneous lesions, such as papules, nodules, plaques, or tumors, with pathology showing CD30-positive T-cell proliferation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician documents primary cutaneous CD30-positive T-cell proliferation and specifically notes that the condition has not achieved remission. It may apply at initial diagnosis or follow-up visits if active disease is still present. Check documentation for the exact subtype and disease status.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if the record does not confirm a primary cutaneous CD30-positive T-cell process or if remission is documented. Do not assign it for nonspecific skin lesions, other lymphomas, or uncertain pathology.
Coding tip
Code from the provider’s exact wording and verify whether “not having achieved remission” is explicitly stated.
