A Case of Multiple Osteoma Cutis in Infant
Abstract
- The term "osteoma cutis" is limited only to primary cutaneous ossification in which there is no evidence of Albrights hereditary osteodystrophy in either the patient or his farnily. We herein present a case of osteorna cutis in a 2-year-old male. He had had multiple hard plaques on the extremities since birth and had not had the evidences of Albrights hereditary osteodystrophy and signs of secondary cutaneous ossification such as trauma, injection, previous skin lesions and abnormal laboratory findings. The histopathologic findings revealed bony spicules with numerous osteocytes, cement lines, Haversian canals, osteoblasts and osteoclasts.
