ICD-10 Code C44.132 – Sebaceous cell carcinoma of skin of right eyelid, including canthus (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C44.132 – Sebaceous cell carcinoma of skin of right eyelid, including canthus
What it is
C44.132 identifies a malignant sebaceous gland tumor arising in the skin of the right eyelid, including the canthus. Use it when documentation specifies sebaceous cell carcinoma at this exact site.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include a persistent eyelid nodule, thickening, or a lesion that does not heal. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation, especially when pathology confirms sebaceous cell carcinoma.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents sebaceous cell carcinoma of the skin of the right eyelid or right canthus. It may also apply when pathology or operative notes clearly identify this exact diagnosis and location.
Check documentation if the lesion site is described only as eyelid, periocular skin, or canthus without laterality. Do not assume right-sided involvement unless the record states it.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for benign sebaceous lesions, chalazion, or non-neoplastic eyelid disorders. It is also incorrect for unspecified eyelid site or left-sided disease.
Coding tip
Match the histology and laterality exactly; if either is unclear, query the provider before coding.
