ICD-10 Code H02.824 – Cysts of left upper eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.824 – Cysts of left upper eyelid
What it is
This code identifies a cyst located on the left upper eyelid. Use it when the record documents a cystic eyelid lesion on that specific side and lid.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Eyelid cysts are typically described as a localized, smooth, or raised lump that may be visible or palpable on examination.
When to use this code
Use H02.824 when the provider documents a cyst of the left upper eyelid as the diagnosis. It fits office, ophthalmology, or surgical notes that clearly identify the lesion’s site and laterality. If the record only says “eyelid cyst” without location, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for cysts on the right eyelid, lower eyelid, or unspecified eyelid. Also avoid it if the finding is a chalazion, stye, or another eyelid mass unless the provider specifically documents a cyst.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and eyelid level in the note before assigning H02.824.
