Abstract
A 27-year-old man with multiple lesions located on his chest and neck and d iagnosed as steatocystoma multiplex desired removal of these lesions. We re port a facile, fast, and successful technique for the removal of lesions of steatocystoma multiplex. Using a no. 11 blade, we incised the domes of num erous lesions and removed the cyst walls with small artery forceps. Within 1 month, the incisions healed without scarring, and after 4 months of follo w-up, they had not recurred. This procedure al lows the removal of many les ions of steatocystoma in a few office visits.
