Additional Info
- 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.
- The formation of multiple small (< 2 cm) abscesses is occasionally referred to as Necrotizing pneumonia (NP), and is also known as cavitary pneumonia, cavitary necrosis or lung gangrene. Both lung abscess and necrotizing pneumonia are manifestations of a similar pathologic process.
- To code a necrotizing pneumonia, link this code with the code for the pneumonia:
| Pneumonia codes: |
Includes:
- Gangrene of lung
- Necrotic lung
- Cavitary pneumonia
- Cavitary necrosis
- aspergilloma combine with Aspergillus
