“…Comparison studies of keratin expression showed that epidermoid cyst expressed K10, EVHC expressed K17, trichilemmal cyst and steatocystoma multiplex expressed both K10 and K17 [8]. Kligman and Kirchbaum postulated that pluripotential ectodermal cells retain the embryonic capacity to form appendages or naevi rather than retention or inclusion cysts [9,10]. Both steatocystoma multiplex and steatocystoma simplex arise from ducts of sebaceous glands.…”

International Journal of Case Reports and Images (IJCRI) is an international, peer reviewed, monthly, open access, online journal, publishing high-quality, articles in all areas of basic medical sciences and clinical specialties.Aim of IJCRI is to encourage the publication of new information by providing a platform for reporting of unique, unusual and rare cases which enhance understanding of disease process, its diagnosis, management and clinico-pathologic correlations. Steatocystoma, an uncommon cutaneous disorder, initially thought to be a sebaceous or retention cyst is recognized as a hamartomatous malformation of the pilosebaceous duct junction characterized by the development of numerous sebum containing dermal cysts with sebaceous glands in the cyst walls. Case Report: A 70-year-old male patient presented with asymptomatic dark patches, bilaterally on malar region. Surgical excision was done under local anesthesia. Histopathology conmfirmed steatocystoma. Conclusion: Steatocystoma is a cosmetic problem and a lifelong condition. Steatocystoma multiplex should be considered as a spectrum with different variations in anatomical distribution which can be treated successfully.

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.

“…Clinically, it is characterized by multiple small soft, movable, yellowish to skin-colored dermal cystic papules and nodules, varying from a few to 20 mm or more in size [3]. Overlying epidermis, it usually remains normal with no central punctum [4]. The trunk (with the presternal region as the site of election) and proximal extremities are involved, but lesions may appear anywhere, including the scrotum.…”
