ICD10 code of Castleman disease and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Castleman disease? And the ICD9 code for Castleman disease?
Castleman disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by enlarged lymph nodes. The ICD-10 code for Castleman disease is D47.01. Unfortunately, there is no specific ICD-9 code for Castleman disease as it was replaced by ICD-10. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and coding.
Castleman disease, also known as angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia, is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by abnormal growth of lymph nodes. The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) provides a specific code for Castleman disease, which is D47.01. This code falls under the category of "Other specified neoplasms of uncertain behavior of lymphoid, hematopoietic, and related tissue."
In contrast, the previous edition, the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9), does not have a specific code for Castleman disease. However, it falls under the broader category of lymphadenopathy (ICD-9 code 785.6), which denotes abnormal enlargement or swelling of lymph nodes.
It is important to note that medical coding is a complex process, and accurate coding requires a thorough understanding of the disease and the coding guidelines. Therefore, it is always recommended to consult with a certified medical coder or healthcare professional for precise coding and billing purposes.
