There are a few general rules:
Surgical removal of pelvic and para‐aortic lymph nodes has serious potential short‐term and long‐term sequelae. Therefore it is important to investigate the clinical value of this treatment. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of lymphadenectomy for the management of endometrial cancer .
The paraaortic lymph node is one of several masses of lymph tissue located near the aorta, right in front of several lumbar vertebrae. Another term for one is a periaortic lymph node. As part of the lymphatic system, these nodes help drain dead cells and immune system-neutralized foreign bodies.
R22.1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM R22.1 became effective on October 1, 2020.
Paratracheal lymph nodes run along the sides of your trachea (windpipe) in the neck. These are the lymph nodes that often become swollen when you're sick with a sore throat or cold.
ICD-10 code R59. 9 for Enlarged lymph nodes, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
ICD-10 code: R59. 9 Enlarged lymph nodes, unspecified.
3 - Secondary and unspecified malignant neoplasm of axilla and upper limb lymph nodes.
Normal lymph nodes are usually less than 1 cm in diameter and tend to be larger in adolescence than later in life. A clinically useful approach is to classify lymphadenopathy as localized when it involves only one region, such as the neck or axilla, and generalized when it involves more than one region [1].

Lymph nodes are small, oval-shaped organs that contain immune cells to attack and kill foreign invaders, such as viruses. They're an important part of the body's immune system. Lymph nodes are also known as lymph glands. Lymph nodes are found in various parts of the body, including the neck, armpits, and groin.
Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system, which is part of the body's germ-fighting network. The lymphatic system includes the lymph nodes (lymph glands), spleen, thymus gland and bone marrow. Lymphoma can affect all those areas as well as other organs throughout the body.
L04. 2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Lymphatic system and axillary nodes Lymph nodes are small clumps of immune cells that act as filters for the lymphatic system. They also store white blood cells that help fight illness. The lymph nodes in the underarm are called axillary lymph nodes. If breast cancer spreads, this is the first place it's likely to go.
The breast surgery Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes were developed when axillary dissection was standard therapy for breast cancer. Modified radical mastectomy is coded 19307; lumpectomy with axillary dissection is coded 19302.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.
