Definition
A common benign neoplasm usually affecting older individuals. The lesions usually arise in the trunk, head and neck, but they can occur on any skin surface other than the palms, soles, and mucosal surfaces. They appear as flat-based papules or plaques. Histologically, there is intraepidermal proliferation of basaloid keratinocytes, acanthosis, hyperkeratosis, and cysts formation.

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.
