Abstract
- We describe an unusual case of steatocystoma multiplex localized on the forehead. A 16-year-old man was found to have multiple yellowish papules, which had developed on his forehead for 3 years. There was no similar lesions on any part of the body. Histopathological examination revealed an intricately folded cyst wall consisting of several epithelial layers and flattened sebaceous gland lobules close to the cyst wall, which were typical of steatocystoma multiplex. This case represents a facial papular variant, a rare subtype of steatocystoma multiplex.
