Other benign neoplasm of skin of right lower eyelid, including canthus
ICD-10 D23.112 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other benign neoplasm of skin of right lower eyelid, including canthus.
D23.112 refers to a benign neoplasm located on the skin of the right lower eyelid, including the canthus. Benign neoplasms are non-cancerous growths that can arise from various skin cells, including keratinocytes, melanocytes, and fibroblasts. These neoplasms can present as nodules, plaques, or other forms and may vary in color, texture, and size. Common types of benign skin neoplasms include seborrheic keratosis, dermatofibromas, and lipomas. The right lower eyelid is a sensitive area, and management often requires careful consideration to avoid complications such as scarring or functional impairment of the eyelid. Treatment may involve surgical excision, cryotherapy, or laser therapy, depending on the size and type of the neoplasm. Follow-up care is essential to monitor for recurrence and to ensure proper healing, particularly given the delicate nature of the eyelid skin.
