  • Title: Eruptive vellus hair cysts and steatocystoma multiplex. variants of one entity?
    Author: Kiene P, Hauschild A, Christophers E.
    Journal: Br J Dermatol; 1996 Feb; 134(2):365-7. PubMed ID: 8746359.
    Abstract:
    Eruptive vellus hair cysts and steatocystoma multiplex are two clinically similar conditions which show multiple papules and nodules, mainly located over the anterior chest wall. Most cases can be differentiated on histological examination, but in some patients overlapping histological features have been described. We present a patient who showed features of both entities and interpret this as suggesting that eruptive vellus hair cysts and steatocystoma multiplex are variants of one disorder which originates in the pilosebaceous duct.
