ICD-10: | C81.1 |
Short Description: | Nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma |
Long Description: | Nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma |
Status: | Not Valid for Submission |
Version: | ICD-10-CM 2023 |
Code Classification: |
C81.1 is a non-specific and non-billable ICD-10 code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of nodular sclerosis hodgkin lymphoma. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2023 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.
Specific Coding for Nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma
Non-specific codes like C81.1 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10 codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for nodular sclerosis hodgkin lymphoma:
- BILLABLE CODE - Use C81.10 for Nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma, unspecified site
- BILLABLE CODE - Use C81.11 for Nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma, lymph nodes of head, face, and neck
- BILLABLE CODE - Use C81.12 for Nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma, intrathoracic lymph nodes
- BILLABLE CODE - Use C81.13 for Nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma, intra-abdominal lymph nodes
- BILLABLE CODE - Use C81.14 for Nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma, lymph nodes of axilla and upper limb
- BILLABLE CODE - Use C81.15 for Nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma, lymph nodes of inguinal region and lower limb
- BILLABLE CODE - Use C81.16 for Nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma, intrapelvic lymph nodes
- BILLABLE CODE - Use C81.17 for Nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma, spleen
- BILLABLE CODE - Use C81.18 for Nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma, lymph nodes of multiple sites
- BILLABLE CODE - Use C81.19 for Nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma, extranodal and solid organ sites

Patient Education
Hodgkin Lymphoma
What is Hodgkin lymphoma?
Hodgkin lymphoma, also called Hodgkin disease, is a type of cancer that develops in the lymph system. Your lymph system is part of your immune system. It helps protect your body from infection and disease.
The lymph system is made up of tissues and organs that produce, store, and carry white blood cells. It includes your:
- Bone marrow
- Lymph nodes
- Lymphatic vessels
- Spleen
- Thymus
- Tonsils
Hodgkin lymphoma is one of the main types of lymphoma. The other is non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Each type starts in different types of white blood cells.
What causes Hodgkin lymphoma?
The cause of Hodgkin lymphoma is unknown. But there are certain people who are at higher risk of developing it.
Who is more likely to develop Hodgkin lymphoma?
Certain factors can make you more likely to develop Hodgkin lymphoma:
- Age. Hodgkin lymphoma is most common in early adulthood (age 20-39 years) and in late adulthood (age 65 years and older).
- Being male. The risk of adult Hodgkin lymphoma is slightly higher in males than in females.
- Past Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Having an infection with EBV as a young child or teenager increases your risk of Hodgkin lymphoma.
- A family history of Hodgkin lymphoma. Having a parent or sibling with Hodgkin lymphoma increases your risk of developing it.
What are the symptoms of Hodgkin lymphoma?
The signs and symptoms of Hodgkin lymphoma may include:
- Painless, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, underarm, or groin
- Fever for no known reason
- Drenching night sweats (very heavy sweating during sleep)
- Weight loss for no known reason in the past 6 months
- Itchy skin, especially after bathing or drinking alcohol
- Fatigue
How is Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosed?
To find out if you have Hodgkin lymphoma, your provider:
- Will ask about your symptoms and medical history. This will include checking for signs of disease, such as lumps or anything else that seems unusual.
- May order some lab tests, such as:
- Complete blood count
- Blood chemistry studies
- Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) test
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) test
- Blood tests to rule out other medical conditions
- May do imaging tests such as a CT and PET (positron emission tomography) scans
- May do a lymph node biopsy
What are the treatments for Hodgkin lymphoma?
Treatments for Hodgkin lymphoma include:
- Chemotherapy
- Radiation therapy
- Targeted therapy, which uses drugs or other substances that attack specific cancer cells with less harm to normal cells
- Cancer immunotherapy
Hodgkin lymphoma can usually be cured if it is found and treated early.
