The ICD-10 code for Benign neoplasm of unspecified site of unspecified orbit is D31.60.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D31.60 – Benign neoplasm of unspecified site of unspecified orbit

What it is

This code identifies a noncancerous tumor in the orbit when the exact orbital site is not documented. Use it for benign orbital growths that are not otherwise specified.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Benign orbital masses may present with proptosis, eyelid swelling, diplopia, or a palpable mass, but imaging or pathology should support the diagnosis.

When to use this code

Use D31.60 when the provider documents a benign neoplasm of the orbit but does not specify the exact orbital structure. It also fits when laterality or precise location is unavailable in the record. If the note names a more specific orbital site, code that option instead.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for malignant orbital tumors, inflammatory orbital disease, or lesions outside the orbit. Check documentation if the mass is described only as uncertain, metastatic, or non-neoplastic.

Coding tip

Query for the exact orbital location and laterality before defaulting to this unspecified code.
