Review
Steatocystoma multiplex (SM) is characterized by multiple, widespread cutaneous cystic lesions. These lesions can appear virtually anywhere on the body but are more common in areas where the pilosebaceous apparatus is well developed, such as the trunk (especially the presternal area), neck, axilla, inguinal region, scalp, and proximal extremities. We present a case of a woman with predominantly acrally located SM. To the best of our knowledge, a predominantly acral distribution has never been reported. We hypothesize that this patient's phenotype may be due to her genetic predisposition, possibly involving a familial defect in keratin 17, in combination with "ectopic" acral sebaceous follicles.

A 40-year-old man presented with multiple papules on his head and neck. The lesions had been present for about 15 years. The patient was treated for acne for 6 months, but no improvement was noted. A biopsy was performed and microscopic findings were consistent with steatocystoma multiplex.

A 25-year-old man with a 20-year history of asymptomatic nodules on his arms and trunk, which histopathological analysis showed to be consistent with steatocystoma multiplex, is presented. Steatocystoma multiplex is a disorder characterized by multiple, asymptomatic, dermal cysts that usually occur on the trunk and proximal aspects of the extremities. Steatocystoma multiplex with acral predominance has only recently been described. Development of steatocystomas has been hypothesized to be due to alterations in the structure of keratin 17. Treatment for lesions has included surgical excision or drainage, oral retinoids, and liquid nitrogen cryotherapy.

Steatocystoma multiplex is a poorly understood clinical condition characterized by numerous cutaneous cysts. The lesions can be confused with milia, epidermal inclusion cysts, sebaceous cysts, dermoids, and the cysts of acne vulgaris. This patient has hypotrichosis and multiple milia-like cysts on the face and scalp, showing the histologic characteristics of steatocystoma multiplex.

Steatocystoma multiplex is a rare condition that is characterized by cutaneous cysts and may be inherited in an autosomal dominant manner or may occur sporadically. The pathogenesis is hypothesized to involve mutations in the keratin 17 gene. There are no internal manifestations. The lesions are usually asymptomatic. However, a suppurative variant exists in which the lesions become inflamed and suppurative after minor trauma. Treatments include cryosurgery, aspiration, surgical excision, laser therapy, and modified surgical incision techniques. This report presents a case of steatocystoma multiplex, the suppurative variant, in a 26-year-old woman with involvement of rare locations on the buttocks, groin, and extremities.
