“…2 In 1864, Virchow described an ambiguous variant of OC called multiple miliary osteoma cutis (MMOC), encompassing both forms but most often reported as the secondary form consecutive to acne lesions. 1,3 It has been claimed that MMOC mostly affects women with a history of acne even though this is primarily based on case reports and a few case series. 1 Based on the available literature; middle age, female gender, a history of acne, and white skin are risk factors.…”

Facial multiple miliary osteoma cutis is a variant of osteoma cutis usually occurring in women with a previous history of acne vulgaris. Successful ablative laser treatment has been reported using both CO2 and Er:YAG lasers among other invasive treatment modalities, like surgical removal. We report a patient with biopsy-proven facial multiple miliary osteoma cutis responding to non-ablative Q-switched Nd:YAG laser therapy. The patient had excellent cosmesis without textural changes or hypopigmentation despite her Asian background after three sessions over 6 months. Multiple miliary osteoma cutis is therefore now amenable to non-surgical non-ablative therapy by using Q-switched Nd:YAG laser therapy reducing the risk of textural changes and hypopigmentation, especially in dark complexion and high-risk individuals. To our knowledge, this treatment approach has not been previously reported.

Osteoma cutis, also called multiple miliary osteoma cutis is a rarely described dermatosis, and in cases that are not associated with Albright’s hereditary osteodystrophy, osteoma cutis is being defined as a skin type of hamartoma, with mesenchymal cell differentiation in bone tissue. Levels of biochemical parameters (such as serum calcium, alkaline phosphatase and parathormones) are usually within the reference range when dermal osteomas are found. When osteoma cutis formations are X-ray detected (as it often happens when a computer tomography for dental purposes is performed) they manifest as small nodules in the skin with bone density ranging from 1 to 3mm. The very few presence in literature of osteoma cutis cases is due to the fact that the condition is usually asymptomatic and/or its scarce expression is misdiagnosed as milia, fatty hyperplasia or fatty cysts. Reported in this paper are 14 (fourteen) cases of osteoma cutis. It is discussed their occurrence is due to chronic inflammatory processes (acne), and/or pathogenic behavior of skin injuring (patomimia) that unlock suppressed genes (paleo genes) to protect the skin, that are similar to the bone tiles (osteoderms) present in many vertebrates.
