ICD-10 Code D23.30 – Other benign neoplasm of skin of unspecified part of face (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D23.30 – Other benign neoplasm of skin of unspecified part of face
What it is
D23.30 identifies a noncancerous skin growth on the face when the exact facial site is not documented. Use it for benign neoplasms of skin that are not otherwise specified for a more precise facial location.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical benign skin lesions may appear as a stable, slow-growing papule, nodule, or plaque without signs of invasion. Pathology or clinical assessment should support the benign nature.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents a benign neoplasm of skin on the face but does not specify the exact facial subsite. It is also appropriate when the lesion is described as other benign neoplasm and no more specific code is available. If the record later identifies the precise location, code that documented site instead.
Do not use for
Do not use D23.30 for malignant, premalignant, or inflammatory skin lesions. Do not assign it when the documentation names a specific facial site that has its own more exact code; check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm both benign behavior and unspecified facial location before selecting D23.30.
