Abstract
Introduction: Osteoma cutis is a rare benign condition characterized by ectopic bone formation in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue. Typically, osteoma cutes result from inflammation, tumors, or scars. However, primary cases occasionally present with no apparent preceding lesion. Case Presentation: we report a case of primary osteoma cutis located on a 20-year-old woman's forehead. Diagnostic imaging revealed a nodule of bone tissue within the dermis and contiguous cartilage tissue, which was later histologically confirmed. The patient underwent surgical resection under local anesthesia and successfully recovered with no neurological symptoms or signs of recurrence 6 months after the surgery. Conclusion: We report this case because, to the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports of primary osteoma cutis with complete preoperative imaging findings.
