ICD-10 Code D23.39 – Other benign neoplasm of skin of other parts of face (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D23.39 – Other benign neoplasm of skin of other parts of face
What it is
D23.39 identifies a benign, noncancerous skin growth located on other specified parts of the face. Use it when the documentation names a benign neoplasm of facial skin outside the eyelid, lip, ear, or nose.
Clinical signs
These lesions are usually localized skin nodules, papules, or plaques with slow growth and no evidence of malignancy. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents a benign neoplasm of facial skin and specifies the site as another part of the face. It is appropriate after pathology, biopsy, or clinical assessment confirms a benign lesion. If the note only says “face” without a more specific site, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for malignant skin tumors, uncertain lesions, or benign neoplasms on the eyelid, lip, ear, or nose. Check documentation if the lesion type or facial site is not clearly stated.
Coding tip
Match both the benign nature and the exact facial location before assigning D23.39.
