Steatocystoma multiplex is a congenital condition resulting in multiple cysts on the body.

Causes

It is associated with defects in Keratin 17.cite journal |author=Smith FJ, Corden LD, Rugg EL, "et al" |title=Missense mutations in keratin 17 cause either pachyonychia congenita type 2 or a phenotype resembling steatocystoma multiplex |journal=J. Invest. Dermatol. |volume=108 |issue=2 |pages=220–3 |year=1997 |pmid=9008238 |doi=]

Treatment

The cysts can be moved via excision, though conventional cyst excision techniques have proven impractical, and a specialized regimen is required.cite journal |author=Pamoukian VN, Westreich M |title=Five generations with steatocystoma multiplex congenita: a treatment regimen |journal=Plast. Reconstr. Surg. |volume=99 |issue=4 |pages=1142–6 |year=1997 |pmid=9091916 |doi=]
