A facial variant of steatocystoma multiplex.
A case of steatocystoma multiplex confined to the face is reported. Review of the literature disclosed similar cases in this striking location. We therefore believe that this facial variant is a distinctive but less well known variant of steatocystoma multiplex. We review the relationship between steatocystoma multiplex and eruptive vellus hair cysts.
