**Note 5:** **Lymph node involvement**
* Any mention of the terms including fixed, matted, mass in the hilum, mediastinum, retroperitoneum, and/or mesentery, palpable, enlarged, shotty, lymphadenopathy are all regarded as involvement for lymphomas when determining appropriate code.
**Note 6:** **Peripheral Blood or Bone Marrow**
* If there is peripheral blood or bone marrow involvement, code 7.
**Note 7:** **Splenic involvement**
* Splenic involvement is based on splenomegaly and FDG-PET or CT scans that state diffuse uptake, solitary mass, miliary lesions, or enlargement of greater than 13 cm
* A physician’s statement of splenomegaly may be used
* FDG uptake in the spleen that is not diffuse is not enough to code as splenic involvement
**Note 8:** **Bilateral sites**
* Code 7 for involvement of bilateral sites (i.e., breast, eye, kidney, etc.).
* *Example*: Patient with extranodal non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, involving bilateral choroids, (single focus both sites), and no lymph node involvement.
* Code 7 for bilateral involvement of choroids (eye)
**Note 9:** **Not applicable codes**
* Codes 0, 3, and 4 are not applicable for this chapter.

Description |
| 1 |
**Localized only**

- Single extralymphatic site
+ WITHOUT nodal involvement (see code 2 for WITH nodal involvement)
- Multifocal involvement of one extralymphatic organ/site (EXCEPT multifocal lung involvement or any liver involvement, see code 7)
+ WITHOUT nodal involvement (see code 7 for WITH nodal involvement) |
| 2 |
**Regional by direct extension only**
Bulky disease present
Nodal Lymphomas
- Two or more lymph node regions involved SAME side of diaphragm
- Contiguous extension between extralymphatic sites and regional nodes
+ WITH or WITHOUT involvement of other nodal regions on SAME side of diaphragm
Extranodal Lymphomas
- Localized involvement of a single extralymphatic organ/site
+ WITH involvement of its regional lymph node(s) OR
+ WITH involvement of other lymph node(s) on the SAME side of the diaphragm |
| 7 |
**Distant site(s)/lymph node(s) involved**
- Distant involvement
+ Diffuse or disseminated involvement of ONE OR MORE extralymphatic organ(s)/site(s) WITH or WITHOUT nodal involvement
+ Involvement of isolated extralymphatic organ in absence of involvement of adjacent lymph nodes, but in conjunction with disease in distant sites
+ Involvement of lymph node regions on BOTH sides of the diaphragm WITH or WITHOUT spleen involvement
+ Involvement of lymph node regions ABOVE the diaphragm WITH spleen involvement
+ Multifocal involvement of one extralymphatic organ/site WITH nodal involvement
+ Noncontiguous extralymphatic organ involvement in conjunction with nodal disease (two or more sites involved)
- Distant metastasis, NOS
+ Blood/peripheral blood
+ Bone marrow
+ Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
+ Liver
+ Lung (other than by direct extension in code 2) |
