Abstract
We describe the clinical, radiographic, histologic, and metabolic features of an unusual case of multiple miliary osteoma cutis in an otherwise healthy 57-year-old woman. Although the pathogenesis of this rarely reported entity is not fully understood, the novel application of a dynamic bone study revealed a high rate of internal bone remodeling within the lesion. This finding prompted a brief therapeutic trial of a diphosphonate, not previously reported in the treatment of this condition.
