“…21 The present case exhibited a parakeratinized lining and the presence of only sebaceous glands after evaluation of serial cuts of the lesion. Steatocystoma simplex is a solitary cystic lesion, mainly observed in the skin of the face but rarely reported in the oral cavity, and is microscopically characterized by a thin layer of stratified squamous epithelium and usually presenting a superficial acellular hyalinized cuticle with an undulant architecture, 22 features not identified in the present case. Folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma is a rare lesion of the skin that consists of many dilated folliculosebaceous structures intermingled with mature adipocytes, 23 which were absent in the present case.…”

“…The reported lesions include sebaceous adenoma, sebaceous carcinoma, and sebaceous hyperplasia. Steatocystoma in the oral cavity has also been reported (24). The include the presence of (1) a clinically distinct and abnormal lesion warranting a biopsy for diagnosis, and (2) 1 or more well-differentiated sebaceous glands containing no fewer than 15 lobules per gland (25).…”

Occurrence of ectopic sebaceous glands in the uterine cervix is a rare, unusual, and an incidental finding. Microscopically, sebaceous elements are typically situated high in the submucosa without an accompanying hair follicle (so-called free sebaceous glands). They are suggested to give rise to rare cases of sebaceous carcinoma in this location but are otherwise of little clinical significance. We report marked hyperplasia of ectopic sebaceous glands in the ectocervix, which produced detectable lesions on colposcopy. Histopathological examination showed foci of ectopic sebaceous glands located in the submucosa consisting of numerous, variably sized, clustered sebaceous lobules. Each sebaceous lobule was composed of a peripheral layer of germinative cells and centrally located, mature sebocytes with a multivacuolated cytoplasm and round or scalloped nuclei. In one area, there were over 20 sebaceous lobules that were partly connected to a sebaceous duct. To our knowledge, similar changes in ectopic sebaceous glands in the uterine cervix have not been reported till date.

“…5 Histologically, the cyst walls are made up of three to eight layers of stratifi ed squamous epithelium; they lack stratum granulosum and sebaceous gland acini. 3,6 They also feature an acellular hyalinized pink cuticle that lines the inner epithelium. Both the sebaceous elements and the hyaline lining are independent diagnostic criteria for steatocystoma.…”

Steatocystoma Simplex of the Infratemporal Fossa: An Uncommon Location for a Rare Entity

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Steatocystoma simplex is a rare entity characterized by the presence of a solitary cutaneous cyst derived from a sebaceous duct or gland. Multiple locations of this lesion have been reported previously. The purpose of this article is to report the unusual presentation of steatocystoma simplex as an infratemporal fossa mass. To the best of our knowledge, no case of steatocystoma simplex at this site has been previously reported. We also describe the radiologic and pathologic features of this entity, which might aid in diagnosis and management, and we discuss its etiology and treatment options.
