Calcinosis Cutis Circumscripta

We present 2 cases of arthroscopic removal of a calcific deposition in the form of calcinosis circumscripta between the labrum and capsule of the hip joint. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Calcinosis cutis was diagnosed by FNA in a 20-yr-old male who presented with a solitary subcutaneous nodule near the ankle, on the lateral malleolus. [scinapse.io]

If there is an associated underlying collagen vascular disease findings of soft tissue swelling and joint arthropathy may be present. Promoted articles (advertising) [radiopaedia.org]

  • Recurrent Infection

    The indications for surgery included painful lumps, recurrent infection of the calcified masses, secreting ulcers, functional disorders, severe esthetic problems, and pressure on nerves. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Indications for surgical removal include pain, recurrent infection, ulceration, and functional impairment. Following excision, however, recurrence is common. [docksci.com]

    At age 10 yr, muscle biopsy showed an inflammatory myopathy. Serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) level was approximately 12,600 U/L (normal, 30–220 U/L). [academic.oup.com]

  • Hip Pain

    Case 1 was a 42-year-old woman who presented with complaints of a 2-year history of right hip pain. Radiographs showed a calcific deposition in the area of the acetabular roof. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Insect Bite

    In addition, trauma, insect bites, metabolic calcification (e.g. renal failure), and inherited disorders (e.g., pseudoxanthoma elasticum, Werner’s syndrome, and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome) may cause calcinosis circumscripta [ 5 ]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Subcutaneous Mass

    A 2.5-y-old, male common marmoset ( Callithrix jacchus jacchus ) developed a 2-cm, interscapular, subcutaneous mass with variably firm and cystic areas. [ingentaconnect.com]

  • Paresthesia

    The plaques or nodules may impinge on adjacent structures such as joints, resulting in restricted mobility, and nerves, resulting in pain or paresthesia. Destruction of synovial tissue also may result. Vascular occlusion may result in gangrene. [docksci.com]

    Soft tissue calcifications may be easily demonstrated on plain radiographs, but CT scan is more effective in demonstrating the location and extent of calcifications. [sajr.org.za]

Especially in young patients, with a high activity level and without any symptoms of hip osteoarthritis, hip arthroscopy is the ideal treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Medical therapy though not very effective, surgical excision is the mainstay of the treatment. [docksci.com]

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]
