Discoid lupus erythematosus of right eye, unspecified eyelid
ICD-10 H01.123 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of discoid lupus erythematosus of right eye, unspecified eyelid.
Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is a chronic autoimmune condition characterized by the formation of disc-shaped lesions primarily affecting the skin, but it can also involve the eyelids, leading to significant cosmetic and functional concerns. In the case of H01.123, the condition specifically affects the right eyelid, which is classified as 'unspecified' due to the lack of detailed specification in the documentation. Clinically, DLE presents as erythematous plaques with adherent scales, which may lead to scarring and pigmentary changes. The eyelid anatomy involved includes the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and potentially the underlying orbicularis oculi muscle. Disease progression can vary, with some patients experiencing intermittent flares triggered by sun exposure or stress. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough clinical examination, patient history, and possibly a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. It is crucial to differentiate DLE from other eyelid disorders, such as seborrheic dermatitis or squamous cell carcinoma, to ensure appropriate management.

H01.123 specifically covers discoid lupus erythematosus affecting the right eyelid. It is characterized by chronic skin lesions that can cause scarring and pigment changes. It is essential to confirm the diagnosis through clinical evaluation and possibly biopsy.
H01.123 should be used when the condition specifically affects the right eyelid and is documented as discoid lupus erythematosus. It is important to differentiate it from other eyelid conditions and specify the affected side.
Documentation should include a detailed clinical examination, patient history, and any relevant laboratory or biopsy results confirming the diagnosis of discoid lupus erythematosus affecting the right eyelid.
