ICD-10 Code D31.32 – Benign neoplasm of left choroid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D31.32 – Benign neoplasm of left choroid
What it is
D31.32 identifies a noncancerous growth in the choroid of the left eye. It indicates a benign ocular tumor documented as arising in the left choroidal tissue.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Findings may be incidental on eye exam, or associated with a visible choroidal lesion noted by ophthalmology.
When to use this code
Use D31.32 when the provider documents a benign neoplasm of the left choroid. It is appropriate for confirmed or clearly stated benign choroidal tumors in the left eye. Code only when the record specifies laterality and benign behavior.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for malignant choroidal tumors, unspecified eye laterality, or lesions described only as suspicious or indeterminate. Check documentation if the diagnosis is not clearly benign.
Coding tip
Verify both benign status and left-eye laterality before assigning D31.32.
