Steatocystoma multiplex is a well-recognized condition in which subjects develop dermal cysts generally inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, though these can occur sporadically. This case report describes the successful treatment of a 51-year-old woman with steatocystomata limited to the face, who after two treatments with a fractionated ablative carbon dioxide laser remained free of cysts for three years. We conclude that this treatment should be considered as an efficient and effective treatment option for patients with steatocystoma multiplex.
