Definition
A dome-shaped, rapidly growing neoplasm composed of well differentiated squamous cells. It almost always affects the skin and usually occurs on sun-exposed areas of the body, most often the head, neck, and limbs. Rare cases have been reported in extracutaneous sites including the conjunctiva, subungual space, and vulva. It is considered a variant of well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma with distinct clinical behavior.

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.
