    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Steatocystoma multiplex is a rare genetic disorder characterized by multiple subcutaneous cysts.
    • Typically, it presents in adolescence or early adulthood with a familial inheritance pattern.

    Observation:

    • A 50-year-old male presented with numerous scalp cysts that appeared abruptly at age 48.
    • The lesions emerged in two distinct, rapid outbreaks.
    • The condition was nonhereditary and localized exclusively to the scalp.

    Findings:

    • Histopathological examination of most cysts revealed typical features of steatocystoma multiplex.
    • However, some cysts did not exhibit characteristic histopathology, necessitating multiple biopsies for diagnosis.
    • The late onset, eruptive nature, and scalp-specific localization are atypical for steatocystoma multiplex.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering steatocystoma multiplex in adult-onset eruptive scalp cysts.
    • It underscores the diagnostic challenge posed by variable histopathological presentations.
    • Multiple biopsies may be required to establish a definitive diagnosis in atypical cases.
