Dacryops of right lacrimal gland

This code describes a dacryops, which is a benign cyst of the lacrimal gland, specifically located in the right eye. These cysts typically result from obstruction of the lacrimal gland ducts and present as a painless, palpable mass.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of a dacryops affecting the right lacrimal gland. Supporting documentation would include physician notes detailing the location, size, and nature of the cyst, often confirmed by imaging studies.

• Ensure laterality is explicitly documented as "right" to support this specific code.
• Differentiate from other lacrimal gland disorders, such as dacryoadenitis or tumors, which have distinct codes.
• Do not use for cysts of the lacrimal sac (dacryocystocele), which are coded elsewhere.
