Steatocystoma (sebaceous cyst). In case of no attached sebaceous lobules, some call it sebaceous duct cyst.

Steatocystoma, nice eosinophilic corrugated inner membrane.

Yes, sebaceous duct cyst (cutaneous keratocyst) is the suggested term to cysts resembling steatocystomas in all aspects but not showing atached sebaceous glands after extensive sectioning.

Mona, I think sending a second comment is a more apropriate form to change or ameliorate one's previous comment than to edit it.

Dear Romualdo, I did not change my diagnosis, or think of another diagnosis. I just added a comment that I thought of. This is why I used the "edit" option. You can go to all previous cases on this website, in case I think of another diagnosis, or discover a mistake in my opinion, I never use the "edit" option and I send another comment. I think this has just happened last Friday when I diagnosed symplastic hemangioma and you diagnosed ancient shwannoma and I wrote a second comment that ancient schwannoma is an excellent diagnosis and I agree with it... This is just to clarify... Hope to have an opportunity to meet you one day :-)

I called it steatocystoma (probably multiplex) and commented that familial cases had been reported (must have done a google or medline like mark but I did not hear anything back). I am very happy to accede to sebaceous duct cyst.
Enjoy your weekends.

Since both steatocystoma and so-called sebaceous duct cyst [url="http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00509068"]differentiate toward sebaceous duct[/url] and, thereby, are indistinguishable relying on their wall morphology, discrimination between one another is an academicism exercise.
