J90 identifies pleural effusion not classified elsewhere. J91 separates malignant pleural effusion from effusion associated with other conditions. J92 separates pleural plaques by whether asbestos is present.
J93 distinguishes spontaneous tension pneumothorax, other spontaneous pneumothorax, other pneumothorax and air leaks, and unspecified pneumothorax. J94 groups other named pleural conditions and those left unspecified.
