-*There is not separate ICD10 code for a bronchopleural fistula.  So to code this one should combine:  [[Disorder of lung, NOS]] and [[Pleural disorder, NOS]].  IF, as is usually the case when these fistulas are spontaneous (rather than caused iatrogenically or by trauma), it is due to lung infection or abscess, then that code should also be combined with these; and also code [[Empyema (pyothorax)]] if present, combining it with the others.
+* Cystic lung disease (acquired)
+* Shrinking lung syndrome (combine with [[Systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE, lupus)]])
+* pulmonary sarcoidosis, combine with [[Sarcoidosis, any organ(s)|Sarcoidosis, any organ]]
+'''Excludes''':
+* "Lung nodules NYD"; if they were not NYD we would code them as what they are; since we don't know, they should be coded as [[Lung, diagnostic imaging, abnormal]].
