Definition
A benign histiocytic tumor that usually arises from the skin of the head and neck and occurs during childhood. It is distinct from Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Rarely, it can arise from extracutaneous head and neck sites, including the eye, ocular adnexa, oral cavity, paranasal sinuses, and ear. It is characterized by the presence of lipid-laden, foamy histiocytes and Touton-type giant cells.

Key figures
Each figure carries its unit, period and source; ranks link to "Why this rank?".
No registry-level ancestor: burden figures are published for the mutually exclusive top-level site groups only, and this entity does not descend from one. Global figures (IARC / GLOBOCAN) stay under license review and SEER awaits credentials.
