ICD-10-CM Code For Hodgkin Lymphoma: Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group C81 includes malignant neoplasms of Hodgkin lymphoma, covering classical Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes and nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma that primarily affect lymphatic tissues. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document clinical scenarios such as initial diagnosis, recurrence, and specified anatomic site involvement, capturing disease extent and histologic subtype relevant to management. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM C81 group supports proper claim adjudication and complete clinical documentation for appropriate reimbursement.

ICD-10-CM C81: Hodgkin Lymphoma Overview
The diagnoses in this group represent malignant neoplasms of lymphoid tissue characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells or related variants and primarily involve the lymphatic and hematopoietic systems. Hodgkin lymphoma commonly affects lymph nodes and can involve contiguous nodal groups and, less often, extranodal sites. Accurate coding is important for clinical documentation and supports appropriate claim adjudication and reimbursement by capturing stage, histologic subtype, and treatment intent.
