C93.7: Other monocytic leukaemia
Other monocytic leukemia, classified under the ICD-10 code C93.7, is a rare type of cancer affecting the blood and bone marrow. This disease is characterized by an abnormal increase in monocytes, which are a type of white blood cells. These abnormal cells crowd the bone marrow and blood, impeding the production and function of normal healthy blood cells. Common symptoms of other monocytic leukemia can include fatigue due to anemia, increased susceptibility to infections, unexplained weight loss, bleeding or bruising easily, and fever or night sweats. The disease progression can vary between individuals, with some developing symptoms gradually over time, while others may experience a more rapid onset. It's caused by genetic mutations but the exact cause of these changes is unknown. It affects the immune system and can potentially spread to other organ systems if not managed.
