“…In addition, the present study tends to support the theory of the histopathogenesis of SCM that SCM is a nevoid malformation of the pilo-sebaceous duct junction (5,6,10), rather than that it originates from an obstruction of the outflow of sebaceous material due to keratinization of the follicular lining (2)(3)(4). ADDENDUM A systematic study on SCM (15) including ultrastructural observations which support the view of a sebaceous duct and gland origin for SCM was presented in 1975, but has not been published yet.…”

In order to clarify the site(s) from which steatocystoma multiplex (SCM) originates, five cases of SCM and the normal pilosebaceous apparatus were comparatively examined by electron microscopy. The cyst‐wall of SCM, consisting either of flattened or of undulating horny layer, contained a small number of tonofilaments, desmosomes, and tiny spherical keratohyalin granules. There were variable numbers of lamellar granules which were also frequently observed in the intercellular spaces of the horny layer. Three of the SCM cases included sebaceous cells. The contents of the cysts were mostly amorphous and short‐fibrillar, but sometimes keratinized cells and remnants of lamellar granules were observed. These findings were analogous to those of the normal pilosebaceous apparatus from the level of the lower part of the infundibulum to the outer root sheath Via the sebaceous duct, and were specifically more analogous to those of the sebaceous duct.

“…also called multiple follicular cysts (2) and sebocystomatosis (3). has been relatively well examined by light microscopy (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8). but whether it originates from the outer root sheath of the anagen hair (9) or from the sebaceous duct and acini (2-4, 7, 8) is controversial.…”
