Successful treatment of soft tissue calcifications in uremia.
The appearance of soft tissue calcifications in patients with chronic renal failure has been recognised as one of the serious complications of uremia. An elevated serum calcium-phosphate product has almost invariably been detected, although the exact mechanisms of precipitation are still not fully understood. Among the factors responsible for triggering the precipitation process are: hyperphosp...
متن کاملMusculoskeletal images. Clavicular soft-tissue mass.
a mass in the anterior part of his right shoulder. Examination revealed a well-circumscribed lesion over the central one-third of the right clavicle, measuring approximately 8 × 7 cm. The mass was firm, nonpulsatile and immobile, appearing to be contiguous with, and fixed to, the clavicle. A plain radiograph of the clavicle is shown in Fig. 1 and a representative magnetic resonance image in Fig...
متن کاملConsiderations in Detecting Soft Tissue Calcifications on Panoramic Radiography
Head and neck soft tissues calcifications can result from physiological or pathological mineralization. Some of these calcifications may be found on panoramic radiography because of their proximity to the focal trough and their superimposition over hard and soft tissue structures. Such radiographic images are common and create a diagnostic challenge. Differentiation of these entities can be don...
متن کاملPresternal soft tissue calcifications following mediastinal radiotherapy for Hodgkin's disease.
A patient is described in whom dense calcifications developed in the presternal soft tissues of the chest four years after mediastinal radiotherapy. This is believed to represent dystrophic calcification in previously normal but incidentally radiated tissues following standard dose radiotherapy to the mediastinum for stage IIA Hodgkin's disease.
متن کاملSoft Tissue Calcifications Under Bisphosphonates-A Causal Relationship?
The patient, a 75-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis presented with a 3-months history of severe pain of both upper arms which could be triggered by pressure. On physical examination palpation of her dorsal upper arms revealed multiple hard mobile subcutaneous nodules with marked tenderness. These could be confirmed on X-ray of her right upper arm in two plains, where multiple calcified s...
