I'm looking for a DX for "left pleural fluid - atypical mesothelial cells present"...Thank you!
 
"left pleural fluid - atypical mesothelial cells present"

Hi,
Since you don't know the significance of this finding - may I suggest 792.9 Other abnormal findings in body substances. It states "pleural fluid" right below the description??
Hope this helps,
