ICD-10 Code H04.112 – Dacryops of left lacrimal gland (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H04.112 – Dacryops of left lacrimal gland
What it is
H04.112 identifies a dacryops, or cystic dilation, of the left lacrimal gland. Use it when documentation specifies a benign cystic lesion arising from that gland on the left side.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Dacryops may present as a painless, fluctuant mass near the upper outer eyelid or orbit, sometimes with tearing or mild swelling.
When to use this code
Use H04.112 when the record clearly states dacryops of the left lacrimal gland, including imaging or ophthalmology assessment confirming the side. Code it for a documented cystic lacrimal gland lesion, not for nonspecific eyelid swelling. If laterality is not stated, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for right or unspecified lacrimal gland cysts, or for other lacrimal disorders without a documented dacryops. Check documentation if the mass is not confirmed as a lacrimal gland cyst.
Coding tip
Always verify laterality in the ophthalmology note or imaging report before assigning H04.112.
