Multiple miliary osteomas of the face.
We report an exceptional case of multiple miliary osteomas of the face in an elderly woman, which developed in the absence of previous inflammatory or neoplastic skin disease. Excellent aesthetic results were achieved by surgical removal of about 90 miniature stones present in the facial skin of the patient.
