ICD-10-CM Code C83.3
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
Non-Billable Code
Non-Billable means the code is not sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. Use a child code to capture more detail.ICD Code C83.3 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the ten child codes of C83.3 that describes the diagnosis 'diffuse large b-cell lymphoma' in more detail.

The ICD code C833 is used to code Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL or DLBL) is a cancer of B cells, a type of white blood cell responsible for producing antibodies. It is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma among adults, with an annual incidence of 7–8 cases per 100,000 people per year. This cancer occurs primarily in older individuals, with a median age of diagnosis at approximately 70 years of age, though it can also occur in children and young adults in rare cases. DLBCL is an aggressive tumor which can arise in virtually any part of the body, and the first sign of this illness is typically the observation of a rapidly growing mass, sometimes associated with fever, weight loss, and night sweats.
