Oth benign neoplasm skin/ unsp eyelid, including canthus

This code signifies the presence of a non-cancerous growth on the skin of an eyelid, where the specific eyelid (left or right) is not documented. These benign neoplasms can include various types of skin lesions such as nevi, skin tags, or benign keratoses.

Use this code when documentation clearly identifies a benign skin neoplasm of an eyelid, but the laterality (left or right) is not specified. This code is appropriate when the physician's notes indicate "benign lesion of eyelid skin" without further anatomical detail.

• Avoid using this code if laterality is documented; instead, use the more specific D23.11 or D23.12.
• Ensure the pathology report or physician's notes confirm the benign nature of the neoplasm.
• Do not confuse with malignant neoplasms of the eyelid, which are coded to the C44 series.
