Miliary Osteoma Cutis: Report of a Case after Plant Injury

Abstract

Osteoma cutis (OC) is a rare condition characterized by the presence of bone particles within the skin. One subtype of osteoma cutis is miliary osteoma cutis (MOC), which primarily affects middle-aged women and commonly occurs on the face. Clinical features of MOC include papules and skin-colored hard nodules, similar to milia. In this case, we present a 60-year-old woman with facial skin lesions resulting from a plant injury. The diagnosis was miliary osteoma cutis, and successful surgical treatment was performed.
