Osteoma cutis (cutaneous ossification) (OC) is a rare disorder with true bone formation within the skin. Multiple miliary osteoma cutis of the face (MMOCF) is a cause of acquired OC, is characterized by multiple, small, and primary osteomas in the skin tissue of the face and is a benign extraskeletal and rare bone formation. To date, 52 cases with MMOCF have been reported in the literature. Herein, we report a 56-year-old female patient presented with multiple small, firm, skin-colored papules on the forehead and face lasting for 4 years. She had no history of preexisting acne or any local inflammatory disease at the lesional sites. The skin biopsy revealed osteoid formation with central degeneration and calcification in the dermis. Depending on these clinical and histopathological findings, the patient was diagnosed as MMOCF.\u
