Abstract:
A 27-year-old man with multiple lesions located on his chest and neck and diagnosed as steatocystoma multiplex desired removal of these lesions. We report a facile, fast, and successful technique for the removal of lesions of steatocystoma multiplex. Using a no. 11 blade, we incised the domes of numerous lesions and removed the cyst walls with small artery forceps. Within 1 month, the incisions healed without scarring, and after 4 months of follow-up, they had not recurred. This procedure allows the removal of many lesions of steatocystoma in a few office visits.
