Clinical Information for Follicular cysts of skin and subcutaneous tissue (L72)

Epidermal Cyst - Intradermal or subcutaneous saclike structure, the wall of which is stratified epithelium containing keratohyalin granules.

Steatocystoma Multiplex - A disorder characterized by multiple, wide spread cutaneous cysts that often become inflamed and rupture. It is caused by the same mutations in the gene coding for KRT-17 that are causative mutations for Pachyonychia congenita, Type 2.
