Abstract:
Steatocystoma multiplex is a hamartomatous malformation of the pilosebaceous junction. It is thought to be hereditary or non-hereditary and rarely occurs on the face. We report a case of steatocystoma multiplex located only on the forehead of a 98-year-old woman. Histologic examination revealed a folded cyst wall consisting of several epithelial layers and flattened sebaceous gland lobules close to the cyst wall, which are relatively typical findings of steatocystoma multiplex.
