ICD-10 Code H05.11 – Granuloma of orbit (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H05.11 – Granuloma of orbit
What it is
H05.11 identifies a granuloma in the orbit, the tissue around the eye. It is used when documentation describes a localized granulomatous inflammatory mass in the orbital area.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Findings may include orbital swelling, pain, redness, or restricted eye movement, but the record should support a granulomatous orbital lesion.
When to use this code
Use H05.11 when the provider documents granuloma of the orbit or a granulomatous orbital mass. It fits cases where the diagnosis is confirmed clinically, by imaging, or by pathology. If the note only says orbital inflammation without granuloma, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for nonspecific orbital cellulitis, benign eyelid lesions, or other orbital masses without granuloma. If the lesion is elsewhere in the eye or adnexa, choose the more accurate diagnosis.
Coding tip
Confirm that the documentation names the orbit and specifically states granuloma before assigning H05.11.
