Persistent Milia, Steatocystoma multiplex and Eruptive Vellus Hair Cysts: Variable Expression of Multiple Pilosebaceous Cysts within an Affected Family

Abstract

The relationship between milia, SM and EVHC is discussed; the three disease should be considered as subtypes of multiple pilosebaceous cysts that may all present overlapping histologic features. The different level of the pilosebaceous duct where the cyst originates should explain the different clinical manifestations.
