Tumoral Calcinosis: A Case Series
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Tumoral calcinosis is a rare condition of unknown etiology. It is a misnomer as they are not true neoplasms (as they do not have dividing cells) characterized by the deposition of inorganic calcium with serum exudates in soft tissues in periarticular location within dermis. Only few cases have been reported. Here, we are presenting a series of cases which we have encountered in our hospital with complaints of swelling without pain and no history of trauma. Initial assessment was done with the help of radiological investigations, serum calcium, and phosphate levels. Excision of the tumor was done and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis.
