Abstract

Steatocystoma Multiplex (SM) is a hamartomatous malformation of the pilosebaceous duct. It is a rare disorder of the pilosebaceous unit, characterized by the development of numerous sebum-containing dermal cysts [1]. Here, we report a 22-year-old male presented with multiple asymptomatic, yellow to skin-colored firm cystic swellings over the scrotum; the lesion had been present for about 3 years. Histological findings are consistent with the diagnosis of steatocystoma multiplex. This case represents an unusual clinical manifestation of steatocystoma multiplex in scrotum and is presented for its rarity.
