Abstract
A 35-year-old man at our clinic was found to have steatocystoma multip lex manifested by dome-shaped nodules confined to the scalp and forehe ad. One of four cyst biopsy specimens revealed large lining cells with granular cytoplasm adjacent to typical steatocystoma epithelial linin g cells. Neither fibrosis nor inflammatory changes were noted in the s urrounding connective tissue. The large granular lining cells had immu nohistochemical characteristics of the macrophage/monocyte lineage. Th is case appears to be an unusual clinical and histological manifestati on of steatocystoma multiplex.
