Other benign neoplasm of skin of unspecified eyelid, including canthus
ICD-10 D23.10 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other benign neoplasm of skin of unspecified eyelid, including canthus.
D23.10 refers to benign neoplasms of the skin located on the eyelid, which includes the canthus area. These neoplasms are typically non-cancerous growths that can arise from various skin cells, including keratinocytes, melanocytes, and fibroblasts. Common types of benign skin neoplasms include seborrheic keratosis, dermatofibromas, and nevi (moles). While these lesions are generally asymptomatic, they may cause cosmetic concerns or irritation, particularly if they are located on the eyelid, where they can interfere with vision or eyelid function. Diagnosis is usually made through clinical examination, and in some cases, a biopsy may be performed to confirm the benign nature of the lesion. Management often involves monitoring for changes in size or appearance, and surgical excision may be considered for symptomatic lesions or for cosmetic reasons. Follow-up care is essential to ensure that no malignant transformation occurs and to address any patient concerns regarding the appearance or function of the eyelid.
Detailed descriptions of the lesion, including size, color, and texture, along with photographic evidence when possible.
Evaluation of a patient presenting with a new skin lesion on the eyelid, or follow-up for previously diagnosed benign neoplasms.
Ensure that any excised lesions are sent for pathology to confirm benignity, and document the rationale for excision.
Comprehensive eye examination findings, including visual acuity and any impact on eyelid function.
Management of eyelid lesions affecting vision or causing discomfort.
Document any functional impairment caused by the neoplasm, as this may influence treatment decisions.
Used when a benign eyelid lesion is excised for cosmetic or symptomatic reasons.
Document the size, location, and type of lesion excised, along with the pathology report.
Ophthalmologists should ensure that the excision does not compromise eyelid function.
D23.10 is used for benign neoplasms of the eyelid when the laterality is unspecified, while D23.11 is specifically for benign neoplasms of the right eyelid.
