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]

Case presentation: 33-year-old male presented to OPD with swelling over the right knee joint. Clinically the swelling was adhered to skin, bony hard, tender, and movements of right knee were painful. [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]

  Figure 2: (a and b)anteroposterior radiograph of pelvis and upper third of thighs showing extensive soft-tissue calcification involving the lateral aspect extending from mid ilium to mid-thigh. Visualized bones and joints appear normal. [mjdrdypu.org]

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]

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

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]

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]
