Short Description: Mal neo upper lobe lung. Long Description: Malignant neoplasm of upper lobe, bronchus or lung. This is the 2014 version of the ICD-9-CM diagnosis code 162.3. Code Classification. Neoplasms (140–239) Malignant neoplasm of respiratory and intrathoracic organs (160-165) 162 Malignant neoplasm of trachea, bronchus, and lung.
| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016 L13.9 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of bullous disorder, unspecified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis. Dermatitis herpetiformis characteristic rash
Upper Lobe–Predominant Diseases of the Lung. CT is of value in showing such complications of tuberculosis as empyema, bronchopleural fistula, and pulmonary fibrosis as well as postinfectious tuberculosis findings ( Fig. 12 ). The CT differential diagnosis of recurrent tuberculosis includes sarcoidosis and silicosis.
The upper lobe predominance of granulomatous diseases is strongly determined by delayed lymphatic clearance in the apices. Depending on the specific condition, there also may be a contribution from the inhalation pathway with relative apical overventilation.

ICD-10 code J43. 9 for Emphysema, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the respiratory system .
According to Coding Clinic, chronic restrictive lung disease is assigned to code 518.89, Other diseases of lung, not elsewhere classified. It also says that chronic restrictive lung disease “is an ill-defined term, however, and should be used only when the condition cannot be described more specifically.”
F codes are further broken up into the following categories: F00–F09: codes for organic, including symptomatic, mental disorders. F10–F19: codes for mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance abuse. F20–F29: codes for schizophrenia, schizotypal, and delusional disorders.
Z codes are designated as the principal/first listed diagnosis in specific situations such as: To indicate that a person with a resolving disease, injury or chronic condition is being seen for specific aftercare.
Bullous emphysema is also known as vanishing lung syndrome. It is most often treated by surgical removal of the bulla, which can grow to 20 centimeters—more than a foot—in diameter. A bulla that takes up a third or more of the space in and around the affected lung is called a giant bulla.
A bulla is defined as an air space in the lung measuring more than one centimeter in diameter in the distended state. The term giant bulla is used for bullae that occupy at least 30 percent of a hemithorax [1-4].
When emphysema with COPD is documented, emphysema is reported (J43. 9), since emphysema is a more specific form of COPD. When asthma with COPD exacerbation is documented, code both the conditions J45. 909 - Asthma NOS and J44.
9 – Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Unspecified. ICD-Code J44. 9 is a billable ICD-10 code used for healthcare diagnosis reimbursement of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This is sometimes referred to as chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) or chronic obstructive airway disease (COAD).

162.3 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of upper lobe, bronchus or lung. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH), or Duhring's disease, is a chronic blistering skin condition, characterised by blisters filled with a watery fluid. Despite its name, DH is neither related to nor caused by herpes virus: the name means that it is a skin inflammation having an appearance similar to herpes.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 694.9 was previously used, L13.9 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
Predilection for the upper lobes in antigen inhalation results from relative apical overventilation. Because inhalation of antigens is associated with an exaggerated immune response (hypersensitivity), potential granulomatous reaction primarily affects the upper lobes due to delayed lymphatic clearance in these areas.
In addition, metabolic factors, such as regional uptake of oxygen, elimination of carbon dioxide, and pH in the lung, differ due to inequalities of the ventilation-perfusion ratio. These factors contribute to the upper zone predisposition of conditions such as metastatic pulmonary calcification and tuberculosis.
As in silicosis, CT is more sensitive in showing diffusely scattered nodules (diameter, 1–5 mm), which calcify in 30% of patients, or reticulonodular opacities in a perilymphatic distribution.
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder in which a block in the transport of chloride into the bronchial lumen leads to production of abnormally thick mucus. Decreased clearance of this mucus results in mucous plugging in small and large airways and subsequent bacterial infection.
Recurrent tuberculosis (reinfection and postprimary tuberculosis due to reactivation) predominantly involves the apical and posterior segments of the upper lobes and the superior segments of the lower lobes because of the relatively higher oxygen tension and delayed lymphatic drainage in these areas.
As an interesting side note, the host's position affects the distribution of tuberculosis as observed in animals. In bats hanging headfirst from tree branches or hollows, tuberculosis in the lung is observed in the lower lung zones, in contrast to upper lobe predominance in upright ambulating humans. Sarcoidosis.
