Abstract
- We describe a family with a two-generation history of steatocystoma multiplex with an unusual clinical manifestation. A 7-year-old boy had multiple asymptomatic, small, yellowish cysts on the face since birth. His father and 4-year-old brother also presented several similar persistent cysts localized to the face. This family had no other abnormality on physical examination. The cysts discharged oily yellow material when incised. Biopsy of several lesions disclosed that the cysts had typical features of steatocystoma multiplex histologically.
