Steatocystoma multiplex (SM) is characterized by multiple, widespread cutaneous cystic lesions. These lesions can appear virtually anywhere on the body but are more common in areas where the pilosebaceous apparatus is well developed, such as the trunk (especially the presternal area), neck, axilla, inguinal region, scalp, and proximal extremities. We present a case of a woman with predominantly acrally located SM. To the best of our knowledge, a predominantly acral distribution has never been reported. We hypothesize that this patient's phenotype may be due to her genetic predisposition, possibly involving a familial defect in keratin 17, in combination with "ectopic" acral sebaceous follicles.

Article Synopsis
- - Milia en plaque (MEP) is a rare skin condition first described in 1903 and can be confused with other skin disorders such as Favre-Racouchot nodular elastosis and steatocystoma multiplex.
- - MEP can be primary (occurring on its own) or secondary (linked to other diseases) and is generally benign; it may develop after certain dermatological procedures, like cryotherapy.
- - A case study is presented where MEP indicated the first signs of folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (FMF), highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for improving patient outcomes, using treatments like oral retinoids and phototherapy.
