Definition
A non-encapsulated, slow-growing, locally aggressive subcutaneous tumor characterized by the presence of adipocytes, hemosiderin-laden spindle cells, hemosiderin-laden macrophages, osteoclast-like giant cells, and scattered chronic inflammatory cells. It usually arises from the dorsum of the foot, ankle, dorsum of the hand, thigh, calf, or cheek. It may recur if it is not completely excised but does not metastasize.

Names
CancerIndex is a research and information platform. It does not diagnose and does not recommend treatment.
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.
