Definition
A rare cutaneous melanocytic neoplasm that presents as a slow growing pigmented nodule or papule. It is characterized by the proliferation of heavily pigmented epithelioid and dendritic cells, predominantly in the dermis. PRKAR1A gene inactivation is present in the majority of cases. It can spread to regional lymph nodes, but distant metastases are rare.

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.
