Abstract

Milia-like idiopathic calcinosis cutis is a rare entity. Only 19 cases have been reported so far, the majority of them developed in children with Down's syndrome. The mean age of the patients is 10.3 years, with a sex ratio of nine girls to ten boys. Hands are most commonly affected.We report a case of a 69-year-old, otherwise healthy woman, who developed milia-like idiopathic calcinosis cutis on her forehead.To our knowledge, we report the seventh case occurring in a patient without Down's syndrome, and the first case occurring in an elderly person.
