Good morning,
How would you code if a patient has Follicular lymphoma grade 1-2 (60%) and Follicular lymphoma grade 3A (40%) of left axilla lymph node?
Would you code it as C82.14 (Follicular lymphoma grade 1-2 of axilla LN) because the % is higher OR would you code it as C82.34 (Follicular lymphoma grade 3A) because it's a higher grade than 1-2?
And if anyone can provide any resources that helped you come to that conclusion, I'd greatly appreciate it!
