Leukemia vs Lymphoma
Any lymphoma may have a leukemic phase where the abnormal clonal cells appear in the circulation. Though this is sometimes referred to as a "leukemia", even by some oncologists, that is technically incorrect and ICD10 considers them to be lymphomas. This applies to essentially ALL so-called B-cell leukemias, which are actually lymphomas. It also applies to "NK-cell leukemia" which is also a lymphoma
As such, the following "leukemias" should be coded as follows:
could you make sure that none of the leukemias linked below are a synonym for one of the following? If they are not, please take out the discussion, if they are, please move the page as a link to the "excludes" above.

- B-cell leukemia-B-cell leukemia describes several different types of lymphoid leukemia which affect B cells.
- Types of B cell leukemia include:
- B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia
- Precursor B cell lymphoblastic leukemia
- Acute Lymphoblastic leukemia, mature B cell type
- B cell prolymphocytic leukemia
- Types of B cell leukemia include:
- NK-cell leukemia-Natural killer (NK) cells are a type of lymphocyte (called large granular lymphocytes) that attacks foreign cells.
- Aggressive NK-cell leukemia (also called aggressive NK-cell lymphoma, or ANKL), is a very rare type of NHL. The body makes large numbers of NK cells that are larger than normal. It is grouped with T-cell lymphomas.
- There is a very rare slow-growing (indolent) type of NK-cell leukemia that has a more favorable prognosis. It is called chronic NK-cell leukemia and is treated like T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia.
- The most common type of lymphoid leukemia is B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
