For 2019, C85.2 is a non-billable ICD-10 code for Mediastinal (thymic) large B-cell lymphoma.
Mediastinal lymph nodes are lymph nodes located in the mediastinum . The mediastinum is the area located between the lungs which contains the heart, esophagus, trachea, cardiac nerves, thymus gland, and lymph nodes of the central chest. The enlargement of lymph nodes is referred to as lymphadenopathy. Mediastinal lymphadenopathy generally suggests a problem related to lungs, whether benign or malignant. 1 .
Mediastinal lymph nodes are organs located in the chest cavity. Lymph nodes are part of a network called the lymphatic system, which works to remove toxins and waste from the body. Sometimes, these lymph nodes can be affected by disease and therefore need to be analyzed for diagnosis.
Diseases of mediastinum, not elsewhere classified The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J98. 5 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of J98.
Mediastinal masses are caused by a variety of cysts and tumors; likely causes differ by patient age and by location of the mass (anterior, middle, or posterior mediastinum). The masses may be asymptomatic (common in adults) or cause obstructive respiratory symptoms (more likely in children).
ICD-10 code Q34. 1 for Congenital cyst of mediastinum is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities .
The anterior mediastinum contains thymus, fat, and lymph nodes, which corresponds with the most common etiologies of associated primary tumors. Although two-thirds of mediastinal masses are benign, about 59% of masses in the anterior compartment are malignant.[1] Most anterior mediastinal masses are epithelial tumors.
chestThe mediastinum is the part of the chest that lies between the sternum and the spinal column, and between the lungs. This area contains the heart, large blood vessels, windpipe (trachea), thymus gland, esophagus, and connective tissues.
Mediastinal lymph nodes are glands that are located in the part of the chest that lies between the sternum and the spinal column. This region is referred to as the mediastinum, and contains the heart, thymus gland, windpipe, and large blood vessels.
Mediastinal diseases are conditions that arise from tissues in this cavity. They include cancerous tumors (thymomas, lymphomas, germ cell tumors, carcinoids) and noncancerous tumors (lipoma, teratoma), masses, enlarged lymph nodes, and cysts (bronchogenic, pericardial, esophageal).
Mediastinal lymphadenopathy generally suggests a problem related to the lungs. It is usually associated with tuberculosis and most commonly associated with lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The area in the front part of the chest between the lungs. Also called prevascular space.
Unlike lung lesions, a mediastinal mass will not contain air bronchograms. The margins with the lung will be obtuse. Mediastinal lines (azygoesophageal recess, anterior and posterior junction lines) will be disrupted. There can be associated spinal, costal or sternal abnormalities.
Posterior masses above the level of the clavicles have an interface with lung and therefore typically have sharp, well-defined margins; in contrast, anterior masses above the level of the clavicles do not have an interface with lung, so that their margins are not usually sharp.
