Other benign neoplasm of skin of right eyelid, including canthus
ICD-10 D23.11 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other benign neoplasm of skin of right eyelid, including canthus.
D23.11 refers to a benign neoplasm located on the skin of the right eyelid, including the canthus area. These neoplasms can vary in appearance and may include lesions such as seborrheic keratosis, dermatofibromas, or other non-cancerous growths. Clinically, these lesions are typically asymptomatic but may cause cosmetic concerns or irritation, particularly if they are located in areas subject to friction or exposure. Diagnosis is often made through clinical examination, and in some cases, a biopsy may be performed to confirm the benign nature of the lesion. Management usually involves monitoring for changes, and if necessary, surgical excision may be performed for symptomatic lesions 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 evaluation.
Detailed description of the lesion, including size, location, and any symptoms.
Evaluation of a patient presenting with a new eyelid lesion, monitoring existing benign lesions.
Ensure that the lesion is documented as benign and specify the exact location to avoid confusion with malignant codes.
Histopathology reports if a biopsy is performed, detailed clinical notes on the lesion's characteristics.
Management of benign skin lesions, excision of symptomatic lesions.
Document the rationale for excision if performed, including cosmetic concerns or irritation.
Used when a benign lesion on the right eyelid is excised.
Operative report detailing the procedure and pathology report confirming benign nature.
Ophthalmology or dermatology may perform the procedure; ensure specialty-specific documentation.
D23.11 specifically refers to benign neoplasms, while malignant neoplasm codes indicate cancerous growths that require different management and treatment approaches.
