Other benign neoplasm of skin of right upper eyelid, including canthus
ICD-10 D23.111 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other benign neoplasm of skin of right upper eyelid, including canthus.
D23.111 refers to a benign neoplasm located on the skin of the right upper eyelid, including the canthus area. Benign neoplasms of the skin are non-cancerous growths that can arise from various skin cells, including keratinocytes, melanocytes, and fibroblasts. These neoplasms can present as nodules, plaques, or other forms and may vary in color, texture, and size. Common types include seborrheic keratosis, dermatofibromas, and lipomas. While these lesions are not malignant, they can cause cosmetic concerns or discomfort, particularly when located on the eyelid, which is a sensitive area. Management typically involves monitoring for changes, surgical excision, or other dermatological interventions if the neoplasm causes symptoms or aesthetic issues. Follow-up care is essential to ensure that the lesion does not recur or change in nature, which could necessitate further evaluation.
Detailed descriptions of the lesion, including size, color, and texture, as well as any symptoms.
Evaluation of a patient presenting with a new skin lesion on the eyelid, follow-up after excision.
Ensure that the documentation clearly states the benign nature of the neoplasm and any treatment provided.
Visual acuity tests, assessment of eyelid function, and detailed descriptions of the lesion.
Management of eyelid lesions affecting vision or causing discomfort.
Document any impact on ocular health and the need for surgical intervention.
Used when excising a benign neoplasm from the right upper eyelid.
Document the size, location, and type of lesion excised.
Ensure that the excision is justified based on the lesion's characteristics.
Accurate coding of D23.111 is crucial for proper reimbursement, tracking of benign skin lesions, and ensuring appropriate patient management. It helps differentiate benign conditions from malignant ones, guiding treatment decisions.
