Other benign neoplasm of skin of unspecified part of face
ICD-10 D23.30 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other benign neoplasm of skin of unspecified part of face.
D23.30 refers to benign neoplasms of the skin located on the face that do not fall into more specific categories. These neoplasms can include a variety of skin growths such as seborrheic keratosis, dermatofibromas, or other benign tumors that are not classified elsewhere. Clinically, these lesions are typically asymptomatic and may present as raised or flat lesions, varying in color from skin-toned to pigmented. While benign, they can cause cosmetic concerns for patients, leading to requests for removal. 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, and if necessary, surgical excision or cryotherapy may be employed for symptomatic or cosmetic reasons. Follow-up care is essential to ensure that no malignant transformation occurs and to monitor for the development of new lesions.
