A case of steatocystoma multiplex on the face

Steatocystoma multiplex is a hamartomatous condition of the pilosebaceous junction. It is thought to be hereditary or non-hereditary and occurs on the face rarely. We report a case of steatocystoma multiplex located only on the face in an 82-year-old woman. Histologic findings showed relatively typical findings of steatocystoma multiplex such as a folded cyst consisting of several layers of epithelial cells, palisading basal layer, absence of granular layer and outer hyalin-like cuticle.
