RESUMEN
Steatocystoma multiplex is a well-recognized condition in which subjects develop dermal cysts generally inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, though these can occur sporadically. This case report describes the successful treatment of a 51-year-old woman with steatocystomata limited to the face, who after two treatments with a fractionated ablative carbon dioxide laser remained free of cysts for three years. We conclude that this treatment should be considered as an efficient and effective treatment option for patients with steatocystoma multiplex.

Steatocystoma multiplex is a rare condition that is characterized by cutaneous cysts and may be inherited in an autosomal dominant manner or may occur sporadically. The pathogenesis is hypothesized to involve mutations in the keratin 17 gene. There are no internal manifestations. The lesions are usually asymptomatic. However, a suppurative variant exists in which the lesions become inflamed and suppurative after minor trauma. Treatments include cryosurgery, aspiration, surgical excision, laser therapy, and modified surgical incision techniques. This report presents a case of steatocystoma multiplex, the suppurative variant, in a 26-year-old woman with involvement of rare locations on the buttocks, groin, and extremities.

A 40-year-old man presented with multiple papules on his head and neck. The lesions had been present for about 15 years. The patient was treated for acne for 6 months, but no improvement was noted. A biopsy was performed and microscopic findings were consistent with steatocystoma multiplex.
