Abstract

Steatocystoma multiplex is characterized by multiple, widespread cutaneous cystic lesions. These lesions can appear virtually anywhere on the body but are more common in areas where the pilosebaceous apparatus is well developed, such as the trunk (especially the presternal area), neck, axilla, inguinal region, scalp, and proximal extremities. We present a case of a woman with predominantly facially located steatocystoma multiplex. To the best of our knowledge, a predominantly facial distribution has been rarely reported
