Definition
A benign neoplasm arising from the outer hair sheath and infundibulum. It occurs in the head and neck, usually on the face. It usually presents as an exophytic wart-like lesion or a dome-shaped lesion with a smooth surface. Morphologically, it is characterized by the proliferation of cuboidal cells with clear or eosinophilic cytoplasm in the dermis with connection to the epidermis/hair follicle. There is peripheral cellular palisading, and the lesion is surrounded by a hyaline band.

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.
