Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Steatocystoma multiplex is a benign skin condition characterized by multiple cysts.
  • Surgical excision is a common treatment, but extensive procedures can be challenging.

Observation:

  • A 27-year-old male patient presented with multiple steatocystoma multiplex lesions on the chest and neck.
  • The patient desired removal of these symptomatic lesions.

Findings:

  • A facile, fast, and successful technique for lesion removal was employed.
  • A no. 11 blade was used to incise the cyst domes, and cyst walls were removed with artery forceps.
  • Incisions healed without scarring within 1 month, with no recurrence after 4 months.

Implications:
