ICD-10 Code H04.132 – Lacrimal cyst, left lacrimal gland (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H04.132 – Lacrimal cyst, left lacrimal gland
What it is
H04.132 identifies a cyst in the left lacrimal gland, the tear-producing gland near the upper outer eye. Use it when documentation specifically states a lacrimal cyst on the left side.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. A lacrimal gland cyst may be noted as a localized orbital or eyelid mass, swelling, or fullness near the outer upper eyelid.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents a lacrimal cyst of the left lacrimal gland, including imaging or exam findings that identify the site and side. It is appropriate for a confirmed cyst, not just nonspecific eye swelling. Check documentation if laterality is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for right-sided or unspecified lacrimal gland cysts, or for general tearing disorders without a cyst diagnosis. If the record names another lacrimal condition, select the more accurate code.
Coding tip
Always verify laterality in the note, because H04.132 is specific to the left lacrimal gland.
