ICD-10 Code H02.854 – Elephantiasis of left upper eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.854 – Elephantiasis of left upper eyelid
What it is
This code identifies elephantiasis affecting the left upper eyelid, meaning marked thickening and enlargement of that eyelid. It is used when the condition is documented as localized to the left upper eyelid.
Clinical signs
Common findings include chronic eyelid swelling, skin thickening, and a heavy or distorted lid contour. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.854 when the provider documents elephantiasis specifically involving the left upper eyelid. It fits cases where the diagnosis is stated clearly in the chart, operative note, or specialist assessment. If the laterality or eyelid is not specified, check documentation before assigning the code.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for nonspecific eyelid edema, ptosis, or swelling without documentation of elephantiasis. It is also incorrect if the condition involves a different eyelid or side.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and eyelid location, because H02.854 is specific to the left upper eyelid.
