Steatocystoma multiplex: a report of two sporadic cases

Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2007 Oct;50(4):824-6.

Abstract

Steatocystoma multiplex is an autosomal dominant condition, though sporadic cases are also known, as in our cases. It is characterized by the presence of multiple non tender cystic nodules over the body, exuding syrupy fluid when excised. The lesions are usually seen around puberty and we present here two cases in middle aged with no family history of similar presentation.
