AI Article Synopsis
- Osteoma cutis (OC) is a rare skin condition involving abnormal bone formation, often triggered by factors like inflammation or trauma, but can also occur without a clear cause.
- A 30-year-old woman exhibited multiple hard plates on her forehead and temples, which had developed gradually over 11 years without any significant family or metabolic issues.
- Surgical treatment was performed for cosmetic reasons, but ongoing follow-up is essential to monitor any potential advancements of the lesions into deeper skin layers.
Article Abstract
Osteoma cutis (OC) is a group of rare skin ossification diseases, most of which are secondary to inflammation, scarring, trauma, or tumors, but a small portion are primary. Plate-like osteoma cutis is rare, especially after puberty. This report documents a case of a 30-year-old female, who presented with multiple stone-hard plates on the forehead and bilateral temples, with no relevant family history, or abnormalities in metabolism. These lesions showed slow progression over the last 11 years. The pathological diagnosis confirmed osteoma cutis. The forehead lesions were treated surgically due to aesthetic problems. In addition, long-term follow-up and observations are still needed to determine progression to deeper levels of tissue.
