Abstract
|
|
|
|
A 23-year-old man presented with two asymptomatic, yellowish papules surrounded with several whitish papules localized on the right cheek. Gross findings of the whitish lesions corresponded with milia. Histopathologic examinations of yellowish lesions revealed folded cyst walls consisting of several layers of epithelial cells, which were consistent with the diagnosis of steatocystoma. This case could be further proof steatocystoma and milia originate from the same pilosebaceous unit. It is important to differentiate steatocystoma from milia for less scarring after surgical treatment.
