ICD-10 Code D23.10 – Other benign neoplasm of skin of unspecified eyelid, including canthus (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D23.10 – Other benign neoplasm of skin of unspecified eyelid, including canthus
What it is
D23.10 identifies a benign, noncancerous skin growth on the eyelid when the exact eyelid or canthus is not specified. Use it when documentation describes a benign neoplasm of eyelid skin without further laterality detail.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. These lesions are typically localized, slow-growing eyelid skin masses and may be noted as a visible bump, plaque, or nodule on examination.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents a benign neoplasm of the eyelid skin and does not identify the upper, lower, or specific canthus location. It also fits when the note confirms benign behavior but does not support a more specific eyelid code. Check documentation if the lesion is described only as a skin mass.
Do not use for
Do not use D23.10 for malignant, in situ, or unspecified neoplasms of the eyelid. Avoid it when the record identifies a more specific eyelid site or a non-neoplastic skin lesion.
Coding tip
If the chart names the exact eyelid or canthus, code that more specific option instead of D23.10.
