Dacryops of left lacrimal gland

This code describes a dacryops, which is a benign cyst of the lacrimal gland, specifically affecting the left eye. These cysts typically result from obstruction of the lacrimal gland ducts, leading to fluid accumulation and swelling.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of a dacryops located in the left lacrimal gland. This diagnosis is often made based on clinical examination and imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans.

• Ensure laterality is explicitly documented as "left" to support this specific code.
• Distinguish from other lacrimal gland disorders, such as dacryoadenitis or tumors, which have different codes.
• If the dacryops is bilateral, a different code (H04.113) would be appropriate.
