  • Title: [Osteoma cutis. Pathogenesis and therapeutic possibilities].
    Author: Schuhmachers G, Worret WI.
    Journal: Hautarzt; 1992 Jul; 43(7):422-5. PubMed ID: 1506199.
    Abstract:
    No efficacious therapy for the treatment of increasing and spreading cutaneous ossification is yet established. We report a 52 year old white female with multiple miliary osteomas of the skin involving face, chest and back. The patient has a history of acne vulgaris. A therapeutic trial with a diphosphonate (etidronate disodium) was started in order to stop marked progression and appearance of new lesions. In accordance with the two previously described cases of the literature we failed to achieve any improvement. Clinical features, etiology, classification and therapy of osteoma cutis are discussed.
