  • C96.2 Malignant mast cell neoplasm (also a header)
  • C96.4 Sarcoma of dendritic cells (accessory cells)

  • C96.A Histiocytic sarcoma
  • C96.Z Other specified malignant neoplasms of lymphoid, hematopoietic and related tissue

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
