Idiopathic Calcinosis Cutis over Back
Journal Title: Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Calcinosis Cutis is characterized by the deposition of calcium salts in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Idiopathic Calcinosis Cutis is a rare condition and hence is usually a diagnosis of exclusion. Idiopathic Calcinosis Cutis occurs in the absence of known trauma, inciting agent or metabolic defect. This is a case report of an adult female presenting with Idiopathic Calcinosis Cutis over the back. The exact mechanism of occurrence of this condition is not known. Patients are usually managed with pharmacotherapy, surgery being reserved for those with pain, recurrent infection and impaired function. The lesions are known to recur and a periodic follow-up of these patients is essential.
