%X UNASSIGNED: Steatocystoma multiplex is a benign skin disorder originating from the sebaceous and nevoid ducts. Commonly classified under hamartomas, they are distributed over the trunk, neck, axillae, and groin.
UNASSIGNED: A 28-year-old male patient complained of multiple, asymptomatic skin-colored nodules over the face of 10-year duration. Clinical examination confirmed the historic findings of nontender, polysized, flesh-colored papules and nodules over the said distribution.
UNASSIGNED: On histopathology, a cyst was noted in the mid-dermis, lined by stratified squamous, agranular epithelium, which contained degenerated keratin. Nonpolarized dermoscopy showed a structureless, cream-colored area, and polarized dermoscopy revealed a distinctive, well-circumscribed, yellowish hue which was superimposed over the facial pseudoreticular pigmentary pattern. The findings were compatible with steatocystoma multiplex, and the patient was taken up for radiofrequency ablation.
UNASSIGNED: Herein, we report a rare variant of steatocystoma multiplex limited to the face and scalp subjected to dermatoscopy and characteristic histological correlation. To the best of our knowledge and following a literature search, dermoscopic features of this condition have not been reported thus far.
