Etiology
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]
