ICD-10 Code D31.60 – Benign neoplasm of unspecified site of unspecified orbit (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
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.
