ICD-10 Code H04.119 – Dacryops of unspecified lacrimal gland (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H04.119 – Dacryops of unspecified lacrimal gland
What it is
H04.119 identifies a dacryops, or cyst, arising from the lacrimal gland when the gland side is not specified. Use it for a documented lacrimal gland cyst, not for other eyelid or tear duct masses.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly, a lacrimal gland cyst may appear as a painless swelling in the upper outer eyelid or orbit, sometimes causing fullness, displacement, or irritation.
When to use this code
Use H04.119 when the provider documents dacryops of the lacrimal gland and does not specify right or left. It also fits cases where imaging or exam confirms a lacrimal gland cyst but laterality is missing in the record.
If the note describes another lacrimal disorder, choose the more specific diagnosis instead. Check documentation when the term “cyst” is used without clear lacrimal gland involvement.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for conjunctival, eyelid, or nasolacrimal duct cysts. Do not assign it when the record identifies a different lacrimal gland condition or a specified side that requires a laterality-specific code.
Coding tip
Confirm that “dacryops” is documented and that the lacrimal gland is the source before assigning H04.119.
