ICD-10 Code H02.82 – Cysts of eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.82 – Cysts of eyelid
What it is
H02.82 identifies a cyst located in the eyelid. It is used when documentation describes a benign, fluid-filled or sac-like eyelid lesion and no more specific eyelid diagnosis is provided.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Eyelid cysts are often described as a localized, smooth, mobile, or painless lump on the lid, sometimes with mild swelling or irritation.
When to use this code
Use H02.82 when the provider documents an eyelid cyst without naming a more specific type or cause. It fits routine ophthalmology or primary care notes that identify a cystic lesion of the upper or lower eyelid. If the record specifies another eyelid disorder, code that condition instead.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for chalazion, hordeolum, or other clearly named eyelid masses. Check documentation if the lesion is inflammatory, infected, or described with a different eyelid diagnosis.
Coding tip
Confirm the lesion is documented as an eyelid cyst and not a different eyelid mass before assigning H02.82.
