ICD-10 Code D22.112 – Melanocytic nevi of right lower eyelid, including canthus (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D22.112 – Melanocytic nevi of right lower eyelid, including canthus
What it is
This code identifies a benign melanocytic nevus located on the right lower eyelid, including the canthus. Use it when documentation specifies a mole or nevus in that exact eyelid area.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. A nevus is typically a well-defined pigmented or flesh-colored lesion, and the record should identify the right lower eyelid or canthus location.
When to use this code
Use D22.112 when the provider documents a melanocytic nevus of the right lower eyelid, including the canthus, as the diagnosis being addressed. It is appropriate for office visits, specialty evaluations, or lesion follow-up when the site and laterality are clearly stated. If the note only says “eyelid lesion,” check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for malignant skin lesions, uncertain masses, or nonspecific eyelid growths without nevus documentation. Check documentation if the lesion is elsewhere on the eyelid or if laterality is not specified.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and eyelid subsite in the note before assigning D22.112.
