These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to C84.6. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.

- Lymphoma › anaplastic large cell › CD30-positive (of) (malignant)
Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to C84.6.
- Anaplastic large cell lymphoma, CD30-positive
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from C84
The conditions below can never be reported together with C84.6 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- personal history of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (Z85.72)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from C81-C96
The conditions below are not part of C84.6, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, C84.6 and the excluded code may both be reported.
