Thibierge-Weissenbach syndrome or as the CREST syndrome, because the manifestations usually consist of calcinosis cutis, Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal dysfunction, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia .Patients with this syndrome often have a better prognosis [dermaamin.com]

The prognosis is usually bad. Calcinosis circumscripta has a benign course and occurs in middle-aged women. The deposits are small, nodular or streaky and affect the flexor tendon sheaths of hands and wrist. [ispub.com]

The etiology is unknown, and onset of the lesion is slow and insidious. It occurs in the periarticular area as a painful mass with surrounding erythema and edema. It is visible in x-rays as localized, scattered calcification. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It is classified into 4 major types according to etiology: dystrophic, metastatic, iatrogenic, and idiopathic. [ajnr.org]

Calcinosis cutis, a disease characterized by the presence of calcium deposits in the skin, is classified into four types according to etiology: dystrophic, metastatic, iatrogenic and idiopathic. [scinapse.io]

Etiology Although most cases are idiopathic there is an association with Raynaud syndrome, scleroderma or dermatomyositis in up to 40% of cases. Fine clustered calcifications are seen, usually around the finger and toe tips. [radiopaedia.org]

Diltiazem is thought to work by preventing the laying down of new calcium, but this cannot explain the additional re‐absorption of existing calcium. [academic.oup.com]

It prevents the release of proinflammatory cytokines. It also reduces calcium turnover and resorption. Bisphosphonates show good response mainly in dermatomyositis and systemic sclerosis. Etidronate is used at 800 mg/d. [statpearls.com]
