About D04.12

D04.12 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for carcinoma in situ of skin of left eyelid, including canthus. It belongs to category D04 (carcinoma in situ of skin), block D00-D09 (in situ neoplasms) and chapter 2 (neoplasms). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within D04.1 (carcinoma in situ of skin of eyelid, including canthus), D04.12 is specifically for carcinoma in situ of skin of left eyelid, including canthus. Related codes cover unspecified eyelid, including canthus (D04.10) and right eyelid, including canthus (D04.11).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: D04.121 (canthus) and D04.122 (canthus).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015, and changed in FY2019 (expanded into subcodes).

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 232.1 (carcinoma in situ of eyelid, including canthus).
