Dec 30th, 2020 - Tumoral calcinosis is a rare and benign subtype of calcinosis cutis, a group of disorders involving soft tissue calcium deposition. Only 250 cases have been described since 1898; hand involvement is exceedingly rare. We report a case of extensive ...

Nov 29th, 2020 - The occurrence of calcinosis cutis as a clinical feature of dermatomyositis in adult patients is not well understood. Cohort studies of adult patients with calcinosis are rare. We systematically describe the clinical features, treatments and outco...

Nov 27th, 2020 - Calcinosis cutis (CC) is defined as the deposition of calcium salts on the skin and subcutaneous tissue. It is associated with different conditions, including some autoimmune diseases, and it can generate significant inflammation, pain, and functi...

Nov 19th, 2020 - Calcinosis cutis is a rare disease characterized by the deposition of insoluble calcium phosphate crystals in the epidermis. Etiologically it is divided into 4 types: dystrophic, metastatic, iatrogenic and idiopathic. The most common type is the d...

Jan 6th, 2017 - To the Editor: Down syndrome (DS) is associated with rare dermatological disorders, and the prevalence of some common dermatoses is greater in patients with DS. We report a case of milialike idiopathic calcinosis cutis (MICC) associated with syrin.

Aug 13th, 2015 - DISCUSSION At this point, the differential included items such as pilomatricoma, dermatofibroma, calcinosis cutis, or epidermal cyst. The firm feel, bluish color, and shallow subcutaneous location of the lesion lent themselves to a provisional dia.

Dec 15th, 2014 - DISCUSSION This type of cyst is sometimes referred to as an implantation cyst and occurs when epidermal tissue, including sebaceous glands, is implanted into deeper tissue by a penetrating injury and continues to grow. Although this is an utterly.

Jun 19th, 2013 - Idiopathic calcinosis cutis is an uncommon condition characterized by calcium deposits in the dermis, subcutis, and muscles that most commonly are localized in one area. We report the rare case of a 16-year-old adolescent girl who exhibited unusua.

Calcinosis cutis, the cutaneous deposition of calcium salts in the dermis,1 can occur through a variety of pathogenetic mechanisms, and can be associated with both normal and elevated calcium levels. Iatrogenic causes of calcinosis cutis include e.
