Other benign neoplasm skin/ right lower eyelid, inc canthus

This code signifies a non-cancerous growth originating from the skin of the right lower eyelid, extending to or including the canthal region. These lesions are typically slow-growing and do not metastasize, but may require removal for cosmetic reasons or if they cause functional impairment.

Apply this code when documentation clearly identifies a benign neoplasm (e.g., nevus, papilloma, fibroma) located specifically on the skin of the right lower eyelid, including the inner or outer canthus. This diagnosis is typically made after clinical examination, and often confirmed by biopsy.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "benign" and clearly indicates the right lower eyelid, including the canthus.
• Distinguish from malignant neoplasms (C44.112) or benign neoplasms of the conjunctiva (D10.0).
• If the exact nature of the benign neoplasm is unspecified, this code is appropriate; otherwise, a more specific code (e.g., D22.112 for melanocytic nevi) may be used if available.
