Purpose: Steatocystoma multiplex is a hamartomatous malformation of the pilosebaceous duct junction. It is not common and inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. But numerous non-hereditary cases have been reported. The neck is an unusual site in steatocystoma multiplex. Methods: A 23-year-old woman was found to have multiple yellowish papules, which had developed on anterior surface of her neck for 10 years. Results: There was no similar lesions on any other parts 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. Conclusion: We describe an unusual case of steatocystoma multiplex localized on the neck.

Steatocystoma multiplex is an uncommon benign skin disease, which typically manifests as numerous intradermal cysts that can be scattered anywhere on the body. Although usually asymptomatic, it can be significantly disfiguring. One type of steatocystoma multiplex is known to be associated with the autosomal dominant inheritance of a mutation in the gene coding for keratin 17 (KRT17). In such cases, it is often concurrent with other developmental abnormalities of the ectoderm-derived tissues, such as the nails, hair, and teeth. To the best of our knowledge, few cases have been reported of steatocystoma multiplex of the oral and maxillofacial region. This report describes a case of steatocystoma multiplex of both sides of the neck and multiple dental anomalies, with a focus on its clinical, radiological, and histopathological characteristics, as well as the possibility that the patient exhibited the familial type of this condition.

Purpose: Steatocystoma multiplex is a rare benign disease that occurred multiply on whole body surface. Many physicians have tried managing steatocystoma in variable methods. However it is hard to define the optimal way to cure steatocystoma. We performed both aspiration and excisional method to study the usefulness of both methods. Methods: A 28-year-old woman has asymptomatic multiple subcutaneous nodules on whole body. Most lesions were aspirated with 26-guage needled 3 cc syringe but large and purulent three nodules were excised. Results: We diagnosed the lesion histologically as steatocystoma multiplex. Aspirated wound healed without scar, excised wound remained scar but esthetically acceptable. Axillary lesion contained so clustered type cysts that was difficult to aspirate whole cyst. Thus additional excisional method was needed. Conclusion: There are many practical methods to cure steatocystoma. However, there is no appropriate method to cure it. Therefore we should select different therapeutic method according to anatomical location and cyst size. Especially at subcutaneous fat-rich lesion like axilla and abdomen, it is better to excise the clustered cyst than to aspirate.

목적 지선낭종의 초음파 소견을 분석하고, 표피낭종 및 지방종과의 감별진단에 도움이 되는 소견을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상과 방법 10명의 환자에서 14개의 조직학적으로 확진된 지선낭종의 초음파 소견을 후향적으로 검토하였다. 병변의 위치, 모양, 경계, 에코 발생 정도, 후방 음향 특징 및 테두리 벽 또는 병변 내 줄무늬의 존재 여부를 평가하였다. 지선낭종의 초음파 소견을 분석하고, 표피낭종 및 지방종과의 감별진단에 도움이 되는 소견을 알아보고자 하였다. 결과 지선낭종의 대부분은 피하 종괴(n = 6, 42.9%) 또는 피부층과 피하층을 함께 침범한 종괴로(n = 6, 42.9%) 나타났다. 병변은 대부분 경계가 잘 지어지고(n = 12, 85.7%) 균질한 에코 발생을 보였으며(n = 9, 64.3%), 후방 음향 특징을 나타내지 않았다(n = 9, 64.3%). 표피낭종을 지선낭종과 구별하는 가장 중요한 소견은 균질한 내부 에코 발생과(p = 0.009), 현저하지 않은 후방 음향 향상이다(p < 0.001). 지선낭종과 지방종의 구별되는 특징은 경계(p < 0.001), 에코 발생성(p = 0.034), 내부 에코 성상(p = 0.004) 및 병변 내 줄무늬의 부재였다(p < 0.001). 결론 지선낭종은 초음파 검사상 경계가 좋고 균질하며, 후방 음향 향상이 경도로 있거나 없는 종괴로 관찰되었다.
