Tumoral calcinosis is a rare disorder characterized by calcium salt deposition in the periarticular soft tissue region. It often occurs in the hip, elbow, shoulder, foot, and wrist. Soft tissue calcification associated with tumoral calcinosis is rare in the head and neck. The present case describes a 65- year-old male who had been on hemodialysis for 3 years. A bulky mass, containing chalky amo...

Calcinosis cutis is a rare condition characterized by the deposition of insoluble calcium salts in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Dystrophic calcinosis cutis appears as a result of local tissue damage or abnormalities, such as alterations in extracellular matrix proteins or subcutaneous tissue with normal calcium and phosphate serum levels. It has been rarely described as a late complication...

Tumoral calcinosis is a rare complication in uremic patients. An in-depth review of published literature suggests that most patients with uremic tumoral calcinosis do not respond to medical treatment. Here, we report the case of a patient on peritoneal dialysis who presented with infected multifocal masses on both hip joints and was successfully treated by medical intervention. The patient was ...

Introduction Pathologic calcification occurs in up to 40% of children with juvenile dermatomyositis and can develop within several months even in successfully treated patients. Other differential diagnoses of calcinosis cutis in children are rare. There is no generally accepted standard treatment of calcinosis. We report on a 2-year-old previously healthy girl, the 2 child of non-consanguineous...

We describe a report of an elderly lady who was hospitalized with progressive worsening of breathlessness and fatigue of one month's duration. Clinical evaluation of the patient revealed hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension without left heart failure, and bilateral gluteal calcinosis cutis. Initially, CREST (calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, e...

Calcinosis cutis is a condition characterized by the deposition of calcium salts in the skin and subcutaneous tissues, and patients suffering from it encounter various connective tissue disorders, such as dermatomyositis (DM), scleroderma, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Although calcinosis cutis is frequently accompanied by juvenile dermatomyositis, rare cases have been reported in adult pat...

BACKGROUND Tumoral calcinosis is rarely located in spine. A 55-year-old Japanese woman with cervical tumoral calcinosis is presented, along with a review of the literature relating to tumoral calcinosis in the spine. We discussed the etiology, diagnosis, and management of this condition. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a patient with cervical tumoral calcinosis with end-stage renal dise...

Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM) is a rare autoimmune disease in children and adolescents. In these patients calcinosis might be the most characteristic symptom. However there are only few reported cases of intramuscular calcinosis in Dermatomyositis. We report a case of calcinosis universalis (CU) of the elbow in JDM successfully treated with broaching. The patient, a 24-year-old woman, suffered...

Abstract Calcinosis cutis is an uncommon disorder identified by the deposition of calcium in skin and subcutaneous tissue. Idiopathic variety calcinosis one with no underlying damage at tissue level or absence systemic derangement phosphorus metabolism. Here, we report a case 65-year-old female diagnosed idiopathic hip after her levels were found to be normal connective could identified.
