Steatocystoma multiplex, a rare skin condition, presents as multiple asymptomatic cystic nodules. Histology confirmed the diagnosis in a 24-year-old Peruvian woman with lesions on her back and abdomen.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Histopathology
  • Clinical Case Reports

Background:

  • Steatocystoma multiplex is a rare genetic disorder characterized by multiple cutaneous cysts.
  • It typically presents in adolescence or early adulthood with widespread lesions.

Observation:

  • A 24-year-old woman presented with numerous asymptomatic, dark-blue, cystic nodules on her abdomen and back.
  • The lesions had progressively increased in size and number over a 7-year period.
  • Vellus hairs were observed upon puncture of one of the cysts.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of steatocystoma multiplex.
  • The patient reported no family history of similar skin conditions, suggesting a possible spontaneous mutation or incomplete penetrance.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the clinical presentation of steatocystoma multiplex.
  • Understanding the varied presentation is crucial for accurate diagnosis and patient counseling.
  • Further research may elucidate the genetic underpinnings and potential treatment options for this condition.
