ICD-10 Code D23.111 – Other benign neoplasm of skin of right upper eyelid, including canthus (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D23.111 – Other benign neoplasm of skin of right upper eyelid, including canthus
What it is
This code identifies a benign, noncancerous skin growth on the right upper eyelid, including the canthus. Use it when the lesion is documented as a skin neoplasm and not a malignant or uncertain lesion.
Clinical signs
Findings may include a visible eyelid lump, papule, or nodule that is slow growing and usually painless. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the exact appearance and whether the canthus is involved.
When to use this code
Use D23.111 when the provider documents a benign neoplasm of the skin on the right upper eyelid or right canthus. It is appropriate for pathology-confirmed benign lesions and for clinical diagnoses when the record clearly states “benign neoplasm.”
Code this when the lesion is on the skin, not the eyelid margin alone or deeper eyelid structures. Check documentation if the note uses nonspecific terms such as “mass,” “growth,” or “lesion” without a benign neoplasm diagnosis.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for malignant, premalignant, inflammatory, or cystic eyelid lesions. If the documentation does not specify a benign neoplasm of skin, check documentation before assigning D23.111.
Coding tip
Confirm laterality and location carefully; “right upper eyelid, including canthus” must be documented to support this code.
