Abstract

Primary osteoma cutis is a benign tumor which consists of normal bone construct in the dermis and adipose tissue. We describe a case of primary plaque-like osteoma cutis. A 27-year-old woman presented with a fourteen-year history of stony hard plaque on the left side of scalp. The skin biopsy demonstrated the typical pathological features of osteoma cutis. There was no history of any skin disease leading to osteoma cutis, or family history of Albright syndrome. Therefore we diagnosed this case as primary osteoma cutis. There are four maijor types of primary osteoma cutis based on clinical appearance. Primary plaque-like osteoma cutis is one of the rarer ones.
