A lumen which is partly present in a few areas of the cord, is filled with the cellular debris of the keratinocytes, corneocytes, sebocytes, or the trapped hairs [ 4 ]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Aspiration

  A possibility of tubercular lymphadenitis with scrofuloderma was considered and fine-needle aspiration cytology was performed. [jscisociety.com]

  For widespread lesion aspiration of the fluid with a syringe have been used with fairly successive results, though recurrence may be common. [dermatalk.com]

  Aspiration: Simple aspiration with 18-gauge needle has been successful in minimizing scarring of facial lesions, although a high rate of recurrence has been observed. [ipfs.io]

  Other procedures may include draining cysts through a procedure called aspiration, liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, dermabrasion, and carbon dioxide laser therapy. [1] [6] [11] [12] Laser treatments may be useful for patients with numerous cysts in whom removal [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

  Like steatocystoma multiplex, pachyonychia congenita involves the growth of steatocystomas. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

• Koilonychia

  The associated findings reported in patients with steatocystoma multiplex include ichthyosis, koilonychia, acrokeratosis verruciformis of Hopf, hyperkeratotic lichen planus, hidradenitis suppurativa, hypotrichosis, multiple keratoacanthomas and rheumatoid [ijdvl.com]

  Steatocystoma multiplex has also been associated with ichthyosis, koilonychia, acrokeratosis, Verruciformis of Hopf, hypertrophic lichen planus, rheumatoid arthritis, hypohidrosis, hypothyroidism and hypotrichosis. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]

  Few authors have associated steatocystoma multiplex with ichthyosis and koilonychias, pachyonychia congenital, acrokeratosis verruciformis of hopf, hypertrophic lichen planus, hypohidrosis, hypothyroidism, hidradenitis suppurativa and hypotrichosis [ [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Nail Hypertrophy

  Pachyonychia congenita is a rare hereditary disorder characterized mainly by nail hypertrophy and dyskeratosis of skin and mucous membrane PC-2 (Jackson–Lawler form) and is accompanied by steatocystoma multiplex. [7] Steatocystoma is considered as forme [ijcasereportsandimages.com]

• Suggestibility

  The relationship of steatocystoma multiplex to the development of sebaceous glands and common presentation at puberty suggest a hormonal trigger for lesion growth. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  According to previous studies, androgenic stimulation and environmental factors have been suggested as the possible reasons ( 2, 3, 18 ). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment options for steatocystoma multiplex are limited and have had varying degrees of success. The most effective treatment method is thought to be removal of cysts by surgery. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

A review of the literature of this rare disease is included, and our method of treatment is described. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A variety of surgical treatment options have been used in the treatment of steatocystoma multiplex. Cryosurgery: Cryosurgery has been used in the past with limited success. Residual scarring limits this approach. [ipfs.io]

Etiology Steatocystoma multiplex is a disorder of the pilosebaceous unit that occurs in either a sporadic or an autosomal dominant fashion. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Etiology Sebocystomatosis is caused by mutations in the keratin-17 gene ( KRT17, 17q12-q21). Genetic counseling An autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance has been suggested. [orpha.net]

Summary Epidemiology At least 30 cases from unrelated families (over three to five generations) and several sporadic cases have been reported. [orpha.net]
