Abstract		The term "multiple pilosebaceous cysts" has recently been proposed to describe lesions currently classified as steatocystoma multiplex as well as those named erup#ve vellus hair cysts. This terminology reflects the concept that both types of cyst alče expressions of a single pathological process involving the epithelium of the hair follicle. We report a 23-year old female with cystic lesions of the abdomen, axillae, lateral neck and right leg that had been present for 6 years. The clinical aspects of the disease were typical of steatocystoma multiplex, but histopathologic findings were suggestive of both steatocystomas and eruptive vellus hair cysts. This case illustrates the close relationship between these two types of cysts that has already been suggested by several authors.
