Steatocystoma multiplex of the scrotum. Clinical case

Abstract

Steatocystoma multiplex is a disorder of the pilosebaceous unit characterized by multiple sebum-containing dermal cysts. We report the case of a 64-year-old male presented with multiple skin-colored, partially hyperemic cystic located in the scrotum area. They were accompanied by an active inflammatory process in the form of pain, swelling, hyperemia. The lesion was present for about 1 month. Previously, this patient had diagnosed with multiple steatocystoma located in the hip area and received surgical treatment.At present, such reports in the scientific databases are presented sporadically, therefore we report on multiple steatocystoma of the scrotal localization due to its rarity.
