Definition
A benign histiocytic tumor that usually arises from the skin and occurs during childhood; it is distinct from Langerhans cell histiocytosis. It is characterized by the presence of lipid-laden, foamy histiocytes and Touton-type giant cells in the dermis. The lesions usually develop during infancy. While the majority of cases arise from the skin, it can rarely also arise from extracutaneous sites including the eye, ocular adnexa, oral cavity, paranasal sinuses, and ear. It is sometimes associated with deep soft tissues nodules.

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.
