Kutanöz kalsifikasyon dört ana sınıfa ayrılabilir; distrofik, metastatik, idiyopatik ve iyatrojenik. Tümoral kalsinozis, esasen kalça, omuzlar ve dirsekte olmak üzere periartiküler alanlarda kalsiyum depolanması ile karakterize, idiyopatik kalsinozisin bir alt grubunu oluşturan nadir bir hastalıktır.

A case of tumoral calcinosis localized on the ankle

Abstract

Calcinosis cutis is a term used to describe a group of disorders in which insoluble compounds of calcium are deposited within the skin due to local and/or systemic factors. Cutaneus calcification may be divided into four major categories; dystrophic, metastatic, idiopathic and iatrogenic. Tumoral calcinosis is a rare disease that is a subgroup of idiopathic calcinosis cutis with an obscure pathology characterized by the deposition of calcium in periarticular areas mainly around the hip, shoulder and elbow. Here we present a 61-year-old woman presented with a 3- month history of an asymptomatic nodular lesion growing in time on the left ankle that was diagnosed as tumoral calcinosis with the clinical, histological and radiographic findings
