    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Radiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Platelike osteoma cutis is an exceptionally rare cutaneous ossification disorder.
    • It is typically congenital, but acquired cases have been reported.

    Observation:

    • An 85-year-old male patient presented with a distinct plate of subcutaneous bone.
    • This ossified lesion developed in an area previously affected by morphea, a form of localized scleroderma.
    • The patient had no prior history of congenital osteoma cutis.

    Findings:

    • The subcutaneous bone plate was successfully visualized using multiple advanced imaging modalities.
    • Techniques employed included xerography, computed tomography (CT), and radionuclide bone scans.
    • Imaging confirmed the presence and extent of the ossified lesion.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the known clinical spectrum of osteoma cutis, particularly acquired forms.
    • It underscores the utility of diverse imaging techniques in diagnosing rare cutaneous ossifications.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis of acquired platelike osteoma cutis is warranted.
