The patient had a history of acne vulgaris at a young age. The excisional biopsy from the nodule of the face showed the findings of multiple miliary osteoma cutis (MMOC). As were identified in calcified nodules, may be one of the triggering factors for MMOC. MMOC patients need proper skin care because the subcutaneous calcification is slowly formed even after middle age.

Osteoma cutis is a benign cutaneous lesion characterized by the presence of bone within the dermis or subcutaneous fat. It most often develops in association with other skin lesions such as cutaneous tumors. Nevus sebaceus is a benign hamartoma of the skin that is composed of epidermal and dermal components. It most commonly appears on the scalp and may give rise to either benign or malignant secondary neoplasms. The clinical and pathologic features of a 36-year-old man with a nevus sebaceus and associated osteoma cutis are described. In addition, osteoma cutis-associated neoplasms are reviewed. Secondary osteoma cutis has been observed with both benign and malignant neoplasms as well as various non-neoplastic skin conditions. However, to the best of our knowledge, osteoma cutis has not previously been described in association with nevus sebaceus. Nevus sebaceus can now be added to the list of cutaneous osteoma-associated skin tumors (COASTs).

INTRODUCTION
Miliary osteoma cutis (MOC) is a cutaneous disorder that develops in response to an ill-defined process or following acne vulgaris. Most cases present incidentally as small radiographic aggregations of normal bone within the cheeks. Infrequently, MOC has been reported with systemic disease, including renal failure.
CASE PRESENTATION
An 82-year-old man presented with renal failure and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Intraoral radiographs displayed bilateral radiopacities. This is the first documented case of MOC synchronous with renal failure and secondary hyperparathyroidism in a geriatric patient.
CONCLUSIONS
Patients with MOC and manifestations associated with nephropathy should undergo a comprehensive medical work-up and laboratory studies. Timely recognition of incidental radiographic findings may improve clinical outcomes.

Review
BACKGROUND
Multiple miliary osteoma cutis of the face represents primary extra-skeletal bone formation that arises within the skin of the face.
METHODS
A 60-year-old woman with multiple miliary osteoma cutis of the face was treated by application of 0.05% tretinoin (all-trans-retinoic acid) cream nightly.
RESULTS
After 3 months of therapy there were fewer papules and a decrease in size of remaining lesions. In a literature search, it was found that local application of tretinoin was successful and achieved a decrease in the number of papules over the face in all patients with multiple miliary osteoma cutis of the face; however, the length of time to achieve response varied from a few weeks to 6 months.
CONCLUSION
It is suggested that local application of tretinoin cream should be considered in the therapy of multiple miliary osteoma cutis of the face, particularly when the lesions are small and superficial.

Multiple miliary osteoma cutis is an uncommon condition presenting as multiple skin-colored papules of variable sizes on the face. A 48-year-old woman presented with multiple skin-colored hard papules on both cheeks. Examination revealed firm-to-hard dome-shaped asymptomatic papules in cluster over both cheeks. A punch biopsy was performed, which showed evidence of focal bony trabeculae with associated normal appendages. Few larger papules were incised and followed up with curettage of bony material and closed. All lesions could not be incised and removed because of large number of lesions in cluster.

Review
Osteoma cutis is a rare tumour of the dermis which can only be diagnosed histologically. Pathogenetically, primary (neoplastic) and secondary (metaplastic) ossification must be differentiated. Primary ossification may lead to congenital osteomas and occurs in Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy and in Gardner's syndrome. Secondary, metaplastic ossification may be seen in association with cutaneous tumours, scars or inflammatory processes.

In this study, we report a rare case of osteoma cutis (OC) and tonsillolith, diagnosed using cone beam computed tomography. The dystrophic calcifications in the face and tonsils were incidentally found during examination of the patient's scan with no relation to the main chief complaint. The diagnosis was OC, combined with dystrophic calcification of the tonsils. It is important to mention that OC is a rare soft-tissue ossification of cutaneous tissue, typically on the face and clinically asymptomatic. It may be primary but the majority of cases are secondary. Incidental finding of OC and tonsilloliths on a two-dimensional dental radiograph does not provide sufficient information concerning the location of these calcifications. Thus, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) provides critical information for the diagnosis of asymptomatic OC lesions not available through any other means of clinical detection.
