Singh H, et al. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-222065 Description We are presenting a case of tumoral calcinosis (TC) diagnosed on histopathology with characteristic X-ray, CT and MRI images. We acknowledge that although radiological and pathological descriptions are suggested as diagnostic criteria, mostly the term TC is saved for the condition caused by hereditary metabolic dysfunction of phosphate regulation associated with massive periarticular masses. Our patient had a normal phosphate. On review of literature, normophosphatemic TC has also been described. An 81-year-old Caucasian woman presented with left wrist pain and swelling, which first began approximately 3–4 years ago. As per patient, she saw her physician regarding this 1 year ago and was diagnosed with gout. Physical examination showed 4×3 cm left-sided volar ulnar wrist mass (figure 1).
