The ICD10 code for Rosai-Dorfman disease is D76.3. In the ICD9 coding system, it does not have a specific code, but it falls under the category of "Other specified diseases of blood and blood-forming organs" with a code of 289.89. Rosai-Dorfman disease is a rare disorder characterized by the overproduction and accumulation of certain immune cells. It typically presents with enlarged lymph nodes, fever, and other systemic symptoms.
Rosai-Dorfman disease, also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML), is a rare non-neoplastic disorder characterized by overproduction and accumulation of histiocytes, a type of immune cell, within lymph nodes. Although it can affect various parts of the body, it primarily involves the lymph nodes.
In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the code for Rosai-Dorfman disease is "C96.6." This code falls under the category of "Other specified malignant neoplasms of lymphoid, hematopoietic, and related tissue." It is important to note that despite the term "malignant" in the category name, Rosai-Dorfman disease is not considered a cancerous condition.
In the previous revision, ICD-9, Rosai-Dorfman disease was not assigned a specific code. As it is a relatively rare condition, it may have been classified under a broader category, such as "lymphadenopathy" (785.6), which refers to abnormal enlargement of lymph nodes.
It is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and appropriate coding. The ICD codes provide a standardized system that helps healthcare providers classify and document various diseases and conditions. Proper coding ensures accurate medical record-keeping, facilitates communication between healthcare professionals, and enables statistical analysis for research and public health purposes.
Remember, it is always advisable to seek professional medical advice for any health concerns or queries related to specific conditions or coding practices.
