Conjunctival granuloma, right eye

This code identifies a benign, inflammatory lesion of the conjunctiva, specifically a granuloma, located in the right eye. These lesions are characterized by a localized collection of immune cells, often in response to chronic irritation, infection, or foreign body.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of conjunctival granuloma affecting the right eye. This typically follows an ophthalmological examination confirming the presence and laterality of the lesion. Supporting documentation would include physician notes detailing the location and nature of the granuloma.

• Ensure laterality is explicitly documented as "right eye" to avoid unspecified coding.
• Distinguish from other conjunctival lesions like cysts (H11.4-) or pterygium (H11.0-).
• Code any underlying cause of the granuloma, if known and documented, as an additional diagnosis.
