ICD-10 Code H04.033 | Chronic enlargement of bilateral lacrimal glands Symptoms, Diagnosis, Billing

Common causes include autoimmune diseases such as Sjögren's syndrome, infections, and neoplastic conditions. A thorough evaluation is necessary to determine the underlying etiology.

Diagnosis typically involves a clinical examination, patient history, imaging studies, and possibly biopsy to assess for underlying conditions contributing to gland enlargement.

Treatment may include artificial tears for symptom relief, anti-inflammatory medications, and addressing any underlying causes such as infections or autoimmune disorders.

While it may not always be serious, chronic enlargement can lead to complications such as dry eye syndrome and requires medical evaluation to prevent further issues.
