title: Steatocystoma multiplex in four successive generations.
abstract: A 16-year-old girl presented with multiple, yellowish, elastic, non-tender cysts on the face, trunk, arms and axillae for the last 3-4 years. On pricking, yellowish fluid could be expressed from the lesions. Clinically and histopathologically, the lesions were suggestive of steatocystoma multiplex. There was a family history of similar lesions in five members over four generations.
