A 59-year-old female with facial multiple miliary osteomas of the face was reported. The osteomas were incidentally found by an occlusal X-ray photograph. Numerous miliary radiopaque nodules were revealed in her facial skin. A biopsy specimen revealed round bone tissue about 1 mm in diameter in the dermis. They are characterized by the presence of concentric mature lamellar bone with osteocytes and central fatty marrow. Except for alkaline phosphatase, all laboratory findings related to bony metabolism were within the normal range.
