| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016 J85.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of gangrene and necrosis of lung. Computed tomography (CT) scan of chest showing bilateral pneumonia with abscesses, effusions, and caverns.
Necrosis is commonly documented in the patient records with traumatic wounds, burns, pressure sores etc. Necrosis due to lack of oxygen such as with a MI would be considered part of the MI code as would any necrosis with infection in pneumonia. Gangrene would seem to be a complication of necrotic tissue.

International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2022-02. The term "necrotizing pneumonia" or "lung gangrene" is used to distinguish pulmonary necrosis with multiple small abscesses from a larger cavitary lesion (lung abscess).
Atherosclerosis of native arteries of extremities with gangrene, right leg. I70. 261 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I70.
ICD-10 code I96 for Gangrene, not elsewhere classified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Gangrene is dead tissue (necrosis) consequent to ischemia. In the image above, we can see a black area on half of the big toe in a diabetic patient. This black area represents necrosis—dead tissue—in fact, gangrene of the big toe.
Pulmonary necrotic nodules (NNs) are space-occupying lung lesions. The principal etiologies include infection, collagen tissue disease, thromboembolism, vasculitis, and aspiration.
Background: Pulmonary gangrene is a rare complication of severe lung infection with devitalization of lung parenchyma and secondary infection. If untreated, gangrene of the lung leads to sepsis, multiple-organ failure, and death. Resection of all gangrenous tissue is mandatory and is lifesaving.
Necrotizing pneumonia is a rare and severe complication of bacterial community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Lying on a spectrum between lung abscess and pulmonary gangrene (1,2), necrotizing pneumonia is characterized by pulmonary inflammation with consolidation, peripheral necrosis and multiple small cavities (3).
A: The coder would report ICD-10-CM code I96 (gangrene, not elsewhere classified) as the principal diagnosis because of the “code first” note under code category L89. - (pressure ulcer).
Idiopathic aseptic necrosis of unspecified toe(s) M87. 079 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M87. 079 became effective on October 1, 2021.
262.
Lung necrosis (i.e. necrotising pneumonia) and lung abscess are complications of severe parenchymal infection. 33–38. Necrotising pneumonia occurs when infected lung compresses and occludes alveolar capillaries, resulting in decreased vascular supply to the lung parenchyma.
In children, necrotizing pneumonia (NP) is an uncommon, severe complication of pneumonia. It is characterized by destruction of the underlying lung parenchyma resulting in multiple small, thin-walled cavities and is often accompanied by empyema and bronchopleural fistulae.
Cavitary pneumonia is a rare complication of severe pneumonia in which normal lung tissue is replaced by a cavity. Most notably, it is associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Abstract. Lung abscess is a type of liquefactive necrosis of the lung tissue and formation of cavities (more than 2 cm) containing necrotic debris or fluid caused by microbial infection. It can be caused by aspiration, which may occur during altered consciousness and it usually causes a pus-filled cavity.
J85.0 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of gangrene and necrosis of lung. The code J85.0 is valid during the fiscal year 2022 from October 01, 2021 through September 30, 2022 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.

When an Excludes2 note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together. A “code also” note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction. The sequencing depends on the circumstances of the encounter.
