Sir, Calcium deposits in the skin sometimes occur is association with certain connective tissue diseases, particularlyscleroderma and dermatomyositis (1). This ® nding is extremely rare in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (2). In most cases of calcinosis cutis in SLE, the deposition of calcium is usually seen under the cutaneous lupus lesions, and the amounts are relatively small. We report h...

tuberculosis. On admission he had severe secondary hyperparathyroidism (2HPT) and his serum level of intact parathyroid hormone was 1,489 pg/ml. His bone mineral density was low, and he had significant ectopic calcinosis. A chest radiograph (arrowheads in Fig. 1) and computed tomography of the chest (Fig. 2) revealed remarkable calcification of mitral valve. Ectopic calcinosis is the complicati...

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 dysfuncti...

Background/ObjectiveTumoral calcinosis (TC) is a rare, arcane, and debilitating disorder of phosphate metabolism manifesting as hard masses in soft tissues. Primary hyperphosphatemic TC has been shown to be caused by pathogenic variants the genes encoding FGF23, GALNT3, KLOTHO. We report case massive mechanistically associated with phosphatonin resistance heterozygous alterations sterile alfa m...

Objective : to study the features of coronary calcification in patients with chronic kidney disease receiving renal replacement therapy program hemodialysis. Materials and methods process an open clinical trial, a group (n = 43) end-stage (23 women 20 men) was formed. The average age 54±13 years, median length dialysis 11 [6; 16] months. All received procedures were carried out on artificial de...

A 59-year-old Chinese patient had a history of endstage renal disease secondary to glomerulonephritis and underwent peritoneal dialysis. Nine years after initiation of dialysis, he developed an enlarging ‘tumour’ over his right wrist in the absence of antecedent trauma. Within 1 month of presentation, he was unable to use chopsticks because of the painful mass. At that time, his serum calcium a...

In September last, I saw a Hindu female about 80 years of age who had been suffering from occasional pain in her right gluteal region for twenty-two years. I considered it to be a case of rheumatism and treated her accordingly, but with no effect. On deep palpation I felt a hard substance in the muscle. On opening the part more than a dozen calculi each about the size of a pea were extracted; e...

A 68-year-old womanwith end-stage kidney disease due to hypertension presented with nausea, vomiting, dyspepsia, and epigastric pain. Endoscopy revealed varying numbers of 1–3-mm diameter, white, flat plaques in the gastric body (●" Fig.1). Laboratory results included the following (normal ranges are given in brackets): blood urea 86.2mg/dL (6.0–21.0mg/dL); creatinine 4.2mg/dL (0.6–1.1mg/dL); c...

Calcinosis cutis (CC) is defined as the deposition of calcium salts in the skin. The condition is divided into 5 types: calciphylaxis and dystrophic, metastatic, idiopathic, and iatrogenic CC. Dystrophic CC is the most common form and usually occurs in association with autoimmune diseases. CC can be treated surgically or with the use of drugs such as diltiazem, bisphosphonates, warfarin, ceftri...
