Abstract

Eruptive vellus hair cyst and steatocystoma multiplex are two clinically similar conditions. Most cases can be differentiated by histological examination. However, in some patients overlapping histological features have been described. We present herein a 23-year-old man with combined eruptive vellus hair cyst and steatocystoma multiplex. Histopathologically, the cyst shows feature of steatocystoma multiplex and eruptive vellus hair cyst simultaneously. This case suggests that eruptive vellus hair cyst and steatocystoma multiplex are within the same spectrum of the disease process.
