C84.Z vs C91.1

C84.Z (Other mature T/NK-cell lymphomas) compared with C91.1 (Chronic lymphocytic leukemia of B-cell type), from the official CMS tabular data. Do not report these codes together: the official tabular list marks them Excludes1.

Can these codes be reported together?

No — do not report together. C84.Z carries an Excludes1 note covering C91.1: “T-cell leukemia (C91.1-)”

Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
