Pediatr Dermatol. 2009 Jul-Aug;26(4):479-81. doi: 10.1111/j.1525-1470.2009.00962.x.

Abstract

Plate-like osteoma cutis is widely thought to be present at birth, but it has never been illustrated in early infancy until now. We report on an infant that presented with congenital plate-like osteoma cutis, showing the earliest clinical aspect of the lesion and its initial morphologic changes.
