[Multiple miliary osteomata cutis. Excision with "front lift" approach].
Multiple miliary osteomata of the skin commonly occur on the face and the upper trunk of young healthy women. The mechanism of bone formation is unknown. There is no adequate therapy, which reduces or reverses the growth of osteomatas. Those tumours which are cosmetically disturbing may be excised by a small incision through the skin. For the first time we report their removal via the subcutaneous "front-lift" approach.
