A case study reports a 23-year-old man with asymptomatic, skin-colored, indurated papules on his left temporal region for 3 years, diagnosed as multiple miliary osteomas cutis (MMOC). MMOC, a variant of primary osteoma cutis, often appears in middle age, is associated with past acne lesions and may have an underestimated incidence, with clinical diagnosis and ultrasonography as potential tools for identification and various treatment options available.
