2018/2019 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C44.129. Squamous cell carcinoma of skin of left eyelid, including canthus. C44.129 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail.
In the ocular and periocular region, it can affect the conjunctiva, cornea, and eyelid skin. It is the second most common malignant eyelid tumor and represents around 5% of malignancies in the palpebral area.
It is the second most common malignant eyelid tumor and represents around 5% of malignancies in the palpebral area. It may develop de novo but often may arise from preexisting lesions such as actinic keratosis, squamous cell carcinoma in situ (Bowen's disease), xeroderma pigmentosum, or following radiotherapy.
One study reported the mean age of eyelid SCC diagnosis to be around the 7th and 8th decade of life, although cases can present in much younger individuals. Orbital invasion has been reported to occur in up to 5.9% of all non-melanoma malignant eyelid carcinomas.

173.12 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of eyelid, including canthus. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
If not treated, some types of skin cancer cells can spread to other tissues and organs. Treatments include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT), and biologic therapy. PDT uses a drug and a type of laser light to kill cancer cells. Biologic therapy boosts your body's own ability to fight cancer.
Type 1 Excludes Notes - A type 1 Excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
Anyone can get skin cancer, but it is more common in people who
The incidence for eyelid SCC has been reported to be between 0.09 and 2.42 cases per 100 000 population with higher prevalence in males, in the lower lid (especially the medial canthal region), in fair skin, and in countries with high UV light exposure .
It can be found in various locations on the body including the skin, anus, cervix, head/neck, vagina, esophagus, urinary bladder, prostate, and lungs.
SCC typically manifests as a spectrum of progressively advancing malignancies, ranging from a precursor actinic keratosis (AK) to squamous cell carcinoma in situ (SCCIS), invasive SCC, and finally metastatic SCC.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma ( SCC) of the eyelid is malignant epidermal carcinoma. SCC is the second most common eyelid malignancy, accounting less than 5% of malignant eyelid neoplasms. Basal cell carcinoma is up to 40 times more common than SCC.
A full thickness biopsy is the gold standard to diagnose SCC as it can determine the depth of invasion and extent of invasion of the cancer. Patients with regional lymph node alterations should undergo Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) biopsy to determine if cancer cells have spread to these nodes.
In situ carcinoma. In situ carcinoma is the term for epithelial lesions in which cells have cytological abnormalities characteristic of malignancy (hyperch romatism, pleomorphism, mitoses) and have lost their typical architecture but lack evidence of local invasion or distant metastases.
In general, they are round or oval, commonly present in sunlight exposed skin areas, and may or may not have an erythematous base. AK is a direct precursor to squamous cell carcinoma and a risk factor for other skin cancers.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.

All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...
