Other benign neoplasm of skin of left eyelid, including canthus
ICD-10 D23.12 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other benign neoplasm of skin of left eyelid, including canthus.
D23.12 refers to a benign neoplasm located on the skin of the left eyelid, which may include the canthus (the corner of the eye). Benign neoplasms of the skin can manifest as various types of growths, including but not limited to seborrheic keratosis, dermatofibromas, and lipomas. These lesions are typically non-cancerous and may present as raised or flat lesions that vary in color and texture. While they are generally asymptomatic, some patients may seek treatment for cosmetic reasons or if the growth interferes with vision or causes irritation. 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 the lesion for changes, and surgical excision may be considered if the neoplasm becomes bothersome or shows signs of atypical features. Follow-up care is essential to ensure that the lesion remains stable and to monitor for any potential changes that could indicate malignancy.
Detailed description of the lesion, including size, color, and any symptoms.
Patients presenting with eyelid lesions for evaluation, cosmetic concerns, or irritation.
Ensure clear documentation of the lesion's impact on vision and any associated symptoms.
Comprehensive skin examination notes, including photographs if applicable.
Patients with multiple skin lesions seeking evaluation or removal.
Document the history of the lesion and any changes over time.
Used when excising a benign neoplasm from the left eyelid.
Document the size, location, and type of lesion excised.
Ophthalmologists should ensure that the excision does not compromise eyelid function.
Benign neoplasms are non-cancerous growths that do not invade surrounding tissues or metastasize, while malignant neoplasms are cancerous and can spread to other parts of the body.
