ICD-10 Code H11.041 – Peripheral pterygium, stationary, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H11.041 – Peripheral pterygium, stationary, right eye
What it is
H11.041 identifies a peripheral pterygium in the right eye that is stationary, meaning it is present but not actively progressing. It refers to a conjunctival growth near the cornea.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include a fleshy, wedge-shaped conjunctival lesion on the right eye. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for whether the lesion is stable, symptomatic, or affecting the cornea.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record clearly documents a peripheral pterygium in the right eye and states it is stationary. It is appropriate when the condition is being observed or recorded without evidence of progression. Check documentation if the note does not specify laterality or stability.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for pterygium in the left eye, bilateral disease, or an active/progressive lesion. If the documentation describes another conjunctival disorder, choose the more specific diagnosis.
Coding tip
Always confirm both laterality and the word “stationary” in the provider note before assigning H11.041.
