Benign neoplasm of right ciliary body

This diagnosis code identifies a non-cancerous growth originating in the ciliary body of the right eye. The ciliary body is a part of the eye that includes the ciliary muscle, which changes the shape of the lens, and the ciliary processes, which produce aqueous humor.

Use this code when documentation confirms a benign tumor located specifically in the right ciliary body, often identified during an ophthalmologic examination or imaging. Supporting documentation should clearly state the benign nature and precise anatomical location of the neoplasm.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "benign" and "right" ciliary body; laterality is crucial.
• Distinguish from malignant neoplasms of the ciliary body (C69.4-) or neoplasms of unspecified behavior (D48.7).
• Code any associated symptoms or complications, such as visual disturbances or glaucoma, in addition to this primary diagnosis.
