Abstract

A 30-year-old male presented with multiple, yellowish to skin-colored, firm to soft nodules on the forehead, temple, postauricular area and neck for the previous seven years. Examination of the scalp revealed a single, soft, cystic swelling on the occiput and the patient complained of occasional discharge from two, 0.1 x 0.1 cm, openings in front of both ears. Histopathology of the facial lesion was suggestive of steatocystoma multiplex, while that of the scalp revealed a pilar cyst. An otorhinolaryngeal evaluation confirmed the presence of bilateral pre-auricular sinus. We present this previously unreported pilosebaceous hamartoma, constituting facial steatocystomas and pilar cyst, associated with bilateral preauricular sinus.
