- Surgical Oncology
Background:
- Multiple miliary osteoma cutis is a rare facial bone growth variant.
- Typically affects women with a history of acne vulgaris.
Observation:

- Lesions were treated using curettage and carbon dioxide (CO2) laser ablation.
Findings:
- The patient achieved excellent cosmetic results after three treatment sessions.
- Treatment resulted in minimal scarring and faint hypopigmentation.
Implications:
- Surgical ablative therapy, including curettage and CO2 laser, is a preferred treatment for facial osteomas.
- This combined therapeutic approach offers a novel and effective solution for this condition.
