“…Steatocystoma multiplex is usually appear during adolescence and early adult life and there is no sex predilection. Age of the reported patient was twenty five years which agree with the findings of Mumcuolu CT, Gurel MS, Kiremitci U et al 10 The patient presented with multiple asymptomatic firm cystic nodule that are adherent to the overlying skin of the scortum. These features agree with the findings of Hemlata TK, Pradeep AG, Ajay GO, et al 11 The exact origin of the cyst is still unknown but multiple theories which suggest their origin are: they result from sebaceous retention cyst of a naevoid nature or they are hamartomas or they are a variety of dermoid cyst.…”

A 25 years old male attended the skin & VD outpatient department of Khulna Medical College Hospital on 16th June, 2013 with complaints of multiple asymptomatic small rounded firm, cystic nodules that are adherent to the overlying skin of scortum. The microscopic examination of the cystic nodules showed the features of steatocystoma multiplex. This disorder, although it is asymptomatic, is a cosmetic threat to the patient. Only a few cases of the patients with an autosomal dominant mutation, who had keratin 17; have been reported. We are reporting here a case of steatocystoma multiplex of scortum in a 25 years old male along with review of literature.J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2015; 33(4): 218-221

Steatocystoma multiplex is a well-recognized condition in which subjects develop dermal cysts generally inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, though these can occur sporadically. This case report describes the successful treatment of a 51-year-old woman with steatocystomata limited to the face, who after two treatments with a fractionated ablative carbon dioxide laser remained free of cysts for 3 years. We conclude that this treatment should be considered as an efficient and effective treatment option for patients with steatocystoma multiplex.
