Abstract:
A 45-year-old man with an asymptomatic lesion on the scrotum since 25 years presented to the skin out patient department (OPD). There were multiple skin-colored to hyperpigmented nodules with areas of calcification on the scrotum. The mass measured 20 cm × 10 cm × 8 cm as a whole. Steatocystoma was clinically diagnosed and excision of the lesion was performed by a plastic surgeon. The mass was removed en masse and the removed specimen was measured to be 20 cm × 10 cm × 5 cm. On histopathological examination, the cysts showed epithelium resembling that of outer hair root sheath. Contents of the cysts were homogenous unlamellated keratin with focal calcification.
