A 25-year-old man with a 20-year history of asymptomatic nodules on his arms and trunk, which histopathological analysis showed to be consistent with steatocystoma multiplex, is presented. Steatocystoma multiplex is a disorder characterized by multiple, asymptomatic, dermal cysts that usually occur on the trunk and proximal aspects of the extremities. Steatocystoma multiplex with acral predominance has only recently been described. Development of steatocystomas has been hypothesized to be due to alterations in the structure of keratin 17. Treatment for lesions has included surgical excision or drainage, oral retinoids, and liquid nitrogen cryotherapy.
报告了一名25岁男性，其手臂和躯干有无症状结节20年，组织病理学分析显示与多发性皮脂囊肿一致。多发性皮脂囊肿是一种以多个无症状真皮囊肿为特征的疾病，通常发生在躯干和四肢近端。最近才描述了以肢端为主的多发性皮脂囊肿。皮脂囊肿的发生被认为是由于角蛋白17结构的改变。病变的治疗方法包括手术切除或引流、口服维甲酸和液氮冷冻治疗。
