“…She too was healthy and appeared normal in other respects. Investigations, as performed in Case 1, showed no abnormality (Becker 1924). Multiple primary osteomas may occur on the face where they are similar to the miliary facial osteomas that follow acne (Leider 1950) and thus may well share the same aetiology (Helm et al 1967).…”

A family is presented in whom osteoma cutis occurred in three successive generations. The clinical, radiological and histological features and the other relevant investigations are discussed. The association between osteoma cutis and Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy (Albright et al. 1942) is discussed. Case reportsCase 1: A girl aged three years first developed hard nodules in the skin at the age of six months, since when they have increased in number and size. Coeliac disease was diagnosed at three years and has been controlled with moderate success by a gluten-free diet. She has also had occasional breath-holding attacks from the age of one year. She is otherwise healthy and normal in development and intelligence.On examination the patient had about eight 3-5 cm plaques in the skin, each plaque being composed of clusters of flat, hard, angulated, lentil-shaped nodules 0.5-1.5 cm diameter. The lesions were more easily palpated than seen; however, in some, the overlying skin was slightly discoloured with a dusky, violaceous hue ( Figure 1). Most of the lesions were situated on the trunk and thighs, but some had recently appeared on the extremities.Soft tissue X-rays of the abdomen confirmed the presence of subcutaneous calcified nodules and, in addition, X-rays of the hands and feet showed occasional specks of calcification around the metacarpals and metatarsals. X-rays of the long-bones and skull were normal. Other investigations including full blood count, urea and electrolytes, albumin, alkaline phosphatase, serum calcium, phosphate and parathormone assays, were all normal. Skin biopsies demonstrated the presence of multiple spicules of bone in the dermis (Figure 2). Normal membranous bone structure: osteocytes, cement lines and Haversian canals were present, together with occasional osteoblasts and osteoclasts. The surrounding dermis showed no evidence of scarring or inflammatory changes.

AN association of pigmented naevi and dermal bony nodules has rarely been reported. Heidingsfeld (1908) described a congenital pigmented hairy mole occurring on the left side of the chin in a man aged 21 yr. It was of the size of a " split bean ", had been slowly enlarging of late and was removed at the patient's request as it was a nuisance when he shaved. Heidingsfeld relates that two scalpels were broken during excision and two microtome knives damaged when the undecalcified blocks were cut. Altogether between 50 and 75 small bony nodules were found. A further case report was published by Nanta (1911) and hence French authors refer to the lesion as "l'ost6o-naevus de Nanta". The details of these two and of four other published cases are listed in the table. In addition Duperrat and Montfort (1958) mention a further six cases described in a thesis by Mauduy in 1958, and Willis (1958) briefly mentions another case.Here we briefly record a series of ten cases observed in recent Y-. case reportsOf the 10 cases observed 9 occurred among 625 consecutive pigmented naevi submitted for histological examination, almost all of which had been removed from the face for Cosmetic reasons. Five were discovered among 450 naevi in Leeds, and 4 among 175 naevi in Cornwall, an incidence of 1-1 per cent. and 2.3 per cent. respeCtively, With an average rate of occurrence of 1.4 per cent.The relevant data are included in the table. Two lesions occurred in males and eight in females; the ages of the patients ranged from 26 to 66 yr. Most naevi had either been present since birth or had been noted for many years. In case 3 the duration was given as 2 yr, but this information is open to doubt. All naevi were situated on the face, were small and hairy, and were removed for cosmetic reasons without dilliculty. In two cases there were multiple moles: in case 5 four naevi were removed, but bone was present only in the base of the largest; in case 4 two further moles without bony nodules were excised, as well as two hidradenomata.
