Abstract
- We report a case of multiple osteoma cutis of the face in a 51-year-old female. She presented with 1-2mm sized skin colored multiple firm papules involving both cheeks for 2 years. She did not have any family history. Topical isotretinoin was prescribed for 6 months without any effects. Skin biopsy was done. Biopsy specimen of a skin colored papule on the right cheek showed numerous osteocytes and osteoblasts in the bony tissue. Other papules are treated by punch biopsy.
