A patient with steatocystoma multiplex with multiple ruptured draining cysts and abscesses was treated with a twenty-week course of isotretinoin. Abscesses involuted and inflamed cysts shrank. The remission persisted for ten weeks after discontinuing therapy; subsequently cysts and abscesses occurred in multiple sites.
