Abstract
Osteoma cutis miliaris is a rare condition of bone formation in the dermis, often misdiagnosed. We present a 52-year-old woman with asymptomatic, hard papules on the forehead, initially treated as acne. Biopsy confirmed osteoma cutis, and surgical removal via microincisions successfully extracted the lesions with no recurrence. This case emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis and highlights a minimally invasive approach as an effective, low-risk treatment option.
