Prevelance of mutiply miliary type of osteoma cutis in the maxilal region as anincidental findings: a retrospective study.
Özet
Objective: Miliary osteoma cutis (MOC) is a rare variant of osteoma cutis in which multiple fragments
of bone formations are embedded in the skin. In general, they are asymptomatic, benign and detected
incidentally on radiographic examination.
Methods: This prevalence study was made by using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans.
A total of 893 CBCT scans were evaluated. Two hundred and two of them were excluded because of
poor diagnostic quality. The occurence frequency of incidentally found multiple miliary type of osteoma
cutis in head and neck area was noted. Median and range were used to describe the age of the patients.
Results: A total of 691 CBCT images were screened. Of these, 268 (38.8%) were from female patients
and 423 (61.2%) were from male patients. The median age of patients referred for CBCT was 45.0
(IQR = 30.0) years and within the age range of 5 to 84 years. A total of 22 (3.2%) multiple MOC cases
in maxillofacial region were discovered on 691 patients’ CBCT scans.
Conclusion: Calcified lesions in head and neck region were commonly seen in CBCT images. Although
the most of the calcifications are asymptomatic and require no treatment but diagnosis should be
carefully made to avoid unnecessary further diagnostic assessments. It will also provide the ability
comprehensively evaluation of underlying diseases.
