Other benign neoplasm of skin of eyelid, including canthus
ICD-10 D23.1 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other benign neoplasm of skin of eyelid, including canthus.
D23.1 refers to benign neoplasms of the skin located specifically on the eyelid, including the canthus, which is the corner of the eye where the upper and lower eyelids meet. These neoplasms can present as various types of growths, such as seborrheic keratosis, dermatofibromas, or other benign tumors. Clinically, these lesions are typically asymptomatic but may cause cosmetic concerns or 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 for changes, and surgical excision may be indicated if the lesion is symptomatic or for cosmetic reasons. Follow-up care is essential to ensure that the lesion does not recur or change in character, which could necessitate further intervention.
Detailed descriptions of the lesion, including size, color, and any symptoms.
Evaluation of eyelid lesions during routine eye exams or referrals for cosmetic concerns.
Ensure that the documentation reflects the benign nature of the lesion and any treatment provided.
Comprehensive notes on the lesion's appearance, history, and any treatments performed.
Management of skin lesions on the eyelid, including biopsies and excisions.
Documentation should include the rationale for any surgical interventions and follow-up plans.
Used when excising a benign eyelid lesion coded as D23.1.
Document the size, location, and type of lesion excised.
Ophthalmologists and dermatologists should ensure accurate coding based on the procedure performed.
D23.1 is used for other benign neoplasms specifically located on the eyelid, while D23.0 is for benign neoplasms of the eyelid that are unspecified. D23.1 requires more detailed documentation regarding the type and characteristics of the neoplasm.
