Abstract
Introduction: Steatocystoma, an uncommon cutaneous disorder, initially thought to be a sebaceous or retention cyst is recognized as a hamartomatous malformation of the pilosebaceous duct junction characterized by the development of numerous sebum containing dermal cysts with sebaceous glands in the cyst walls.
Case Report: A 70-year-old male patient presented with asymptomatic dark patches, bilaterally on malar region. Surgical excision was done under local anesthesia. Histopathology conmfirmed steatocystoma.
Conclusion: Steatocystoma is a cosmetic problem and a lifelong condition. Steatocystoma multiplex should be considered as a spectrum with different variations in anatomical distribution which can be treated successfully

Keywords: Steatocystoma Multiplex, Face, Malar region, Yellow Cutaneous cyst, Hereditary
