Definition
A rare neoplasm that arises from the oral cavity, usually the tongue. It is characterized by the presence of plump eosinophilic cells with abundant granular cytoplasm. The neoplastic cells extend into the surrounding tissues, usually skeletal muscle. The vast majority of cases follow a benign clinical course. Recurrences are rare after removal of the tumor.

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.
