Steatocystoma multiplex: A rare skin lesion
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.63682/jns.v14i22S.5488Abstract
Steatocystoma multiplex, a rare genetic condition causes the development of several hamartomatous abnormalities at the pilosebaceous duct junction (the unit that holds the hair follicles). This condition usually arises during the adolescent period. Offspring will surely develop the propensity to form cysts as this is an autosomal dominant disorder and can affect both sexes.
