ORPHA:480541Disease
What it is
A rare aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by a rearrangement in MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 (so-called double-hit or triple-hit lymphoma). The category includes double-hit cases with features intermediate between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Burkitt lymphoma, blastoid cases with a double-hit, and cases with a DLBCL, not otherwise specified, morphology with a double-hit. It refers only to de novo cases, not to lymphomas with a history of pre-existing or coexistent indolent lymphoma. Patients typically present with widespread disease, including involvement of lymph nodes, bone marrow, and central nervous system.

Orphanet records these for the broader condition rather than for this specific form. They are a starting point, not a figure for this subtype — subtypes often differ, and some are defined by being rarer than the condition they sit under.

ICD-10 codes
ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.
