2007 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 208 Leukemia of unspecified cell type
progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow; classified according to degree of cell differentiation as acute or chronic, and according to predominant type of cell involved as myelogenous or lymphocytic.
(loo-KEE-mee-a) Cancer of blood-forming tissue.
A malignant (clonal) hematologic disorder, involving hematopoietic stem cells and characterized by the presence of primitive or atypical myeloid or lymphoid cells in the bone marrow and the blood. Leukemias are classified as acute or chronic based on the degree of cellular differentiation and the predominant cell type present. Leukemia is usually associated with anemia, fever, hemorrhagic episodes, and splenomegaly. Common leukemias include acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, acute lymphoblastic or precursor lymphoblastic leukemia, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Treatment is vital to patient survival; untreated, the natural course of acute leukemias is normally measured in weeks or months, while that of chronic leukemias is more often measured in months or years.
2007 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 208.0 Leukemia of unspecified cell type acute
leukemia in which the involved cell shows little or no differentiation, usually consisting of blast cells; two types are distinguished, acute lymphocytic and acute myelogenous leukemia.
A rapidly progressing cancer of the blood-forming tissue (bone marrow).
A clonal (malignant) hematopoietic disorder affecting the bone marrow and the peripheral blood. The malignant cells show minimal differentiation and are called blasts, either myeloid blasts (myeloblasts) or lymphoid blasts (lymphoblasts). According to the type of blasts present, acute leukemias are classified as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and precursor lymphoblastic or acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
A leukemia originating from a precursor bone marrow cell which is in an earlier developmental stage compared to lymphoblasts and myeloblasts. -- 2003
2007 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 208.00Leukemia of unspecified cell type acute without remission
2007 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 208.01Leukemia of unspecified cell type acute in remission
Acute leukemia not growing; responding to treatment.
2007 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 208.1 Leukemia of unspecified cell type chronic
leukemia in which the involved cell is well differentiated, usually B-lymphocytes, but immunologically incompetent; types distinguished include chronic granulocytic, chronic lymphocytic, chronic myelomonocytic, eosinophilic and hairy cell leukemia.
(KRAHN-ik) A slowly progressing cancer of the blood-forming tissues.
A slowly progressing leukemia characterized by a clonal (malignant) proliferation of maturing and mature myeloid cells or mature lymphocytes. When the clonal cellular population is composed of myeloid cells, the process is called chronic myelogenous leukemia. When the clonal cellular population is composed of lymphocytes, it is classified as chronic lymphocytic leukemia, hairy cell leukemia, or T-cell large granular lymphocyte leukemia.
2007 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 208.10Leukemia of unspecified cell type chronic without remission
2007 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 208.11Leukemia of unspecified cell type chronic in remission
Leukemia that is no longer growing or metastasizing; it is responding to therapy.

2007 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 208.9 Unspecified leukemia
progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow; classified according to degree of cell differentiation as acute or chronic, and according to predominant type of cell involved as myelogenous or lymphocytic.

2007 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 208.90Unspecified leukemia without remission
2007 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 208.91Unspecified leukemia in remission
History of leukemia after therapy with no evidence on the peripheral blood or bone marrow of leukemia (normalization of all hematologic parameters).
