title: Congenital platelike osteoma cutis: case report and review of the literature.
abstract: An 18-year-old girl had a progressive enlarging plate of subcutaneous bone in the scalp since birth. Histologic examination of the lesion showed typical osteoma cutis. There was no history of any skin disease prior to development of the osteoma. Frequently congenital and usually located on the scalp, platelike osteoma is a rare variant of osteoma cutis.
