Other benign neoplasm of skin of other parts of face
ICD-10 D23.39 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other benign neoplasm of skin of other parts of face.
D23.39 refers to benign neoplasms of the skin located on the face, excluding the eyelids, ears, and lips. These neoplasms can include a variety of growths such as dermatofibromas, seborrheic keratosis, and other non-cancerous tumors. Clinically, these lesions may present as asymptomatic or may cause cosmetic concerns for the patient. Diagnosis is typically 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 growth, and if necessary, surgical excision may be performed for symptomatic lesions or for cosmetic reasons. Follow-up care is essential to monitor for any changes in the lesions, ensuring that they remain benign and do not develop into malignant forms. Regular skin examinations are recommended, especially for patients with a history of skin neoplasms.
