“…7,8 The mechanisms for development of diabetes in chronic pancreatitis are 2 fold -primary destruction of beta cells and decreased intestinal increasing secretion as a result of malabsorption. Multiple soft tissue calcifications is a relatively uncommon radiological finding with many plausible causes which may be remembered using the pneumonic TIC MTV 9…”

Introduction: Chronic Calcific Pancreatitis, a rare form of secondary diabetes occurs due to recurrent alcohol induced acute pancreatitis. Case Summary: A 28 year old male patient presented with significant involuntary weight loss associat-ed with a history of passing clay colored sticky stools for the past 1 year. He was also detected to have deranged blood sugars on routine work up at a local hospital for increased thirst and increased urine output. There was a history of recurrent bouts of moderate to severe abdominal pain over the past 3 to 4 years. At the time of initial presentation his Random blood sugar values was 468 mg/dL. Other routine tests tests were within normal limits. His serum amylase levels were 185 U/L and serum Lipase levels were 467 U/L. Conclusions: Chronic fibro calcific pancreatitis is a rare cause of diabetes in young patients but has a characteristic clinical picture with a young patient presenting with features of malabsorption and low BMI, low propensity for DKA , low beta cell reserve and sensitivity to Insulin.

“…Banks et al. [11] described a compartmental approach to the radiographic evaluation of soft-tissue calcifications. In the case of a mass containing fatty elements and calcifications the differential predominantly includes hemangioma, heterotopic ossification, fat necrosis, lipoma, liposarcoma, or other benign lipomatous tumors (angiolipoma, myolipoma, chondroid lipoma, lipoblastoma, spindle-cell and/or pleomorphic lipoma, hibernoma) [12].…”

“…[14] described a case of a 17-year-old with a lower leg mixed low-grade and high-grade liposarcoma containing multiple punctate calcifications having imaging characteristics more suggestive of a hemangioma. The typical radiographic appearance of calcifications in a hemangioma are described as phleboliths, which are round densities with a central lucency ranging from 2 to 8 mm in size [11].

Liposarcoma is one of the most common soft-tissue sarcomas. Calcification and ossification can occur in liposarcoma; however, the presence of both ossification and calcification is a very rare entity. We present a case of a partially calcified and ossified dedifferentiated liposarcoma of the thigh in a 76-year-old woman, which contained heterologous elements of chondrosarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma.

Tumoral Calcinosis Causing Bilateral Thigh Pain

We report a case of a 75-year-old female with bilateral thigh pain for several years secondary to soft tissue calcification. Massive calcinosis of the soft tissues is a unique, but not uncommon, radiographic finding. On the contrary, tumoral calcinosis is a rare familial disease. The term tumoral calcinosis has been overly used to describe any massive collection of periarticular calcification. The original definition of tumoral calcinosis refers to a hereditary disease associated with massive periarticular calcification without an underlying cause. The lesions of tumoral calcinosis are typically lobulated, well-demarcated calcifications most often distributed along the extensor surfaces of large joints. Many conditions have similar radiographic appearances, including the calcinosis of chronic renal failure, calcific tendinitis, synovial osteochondromatosis, synovial sarcoma, myositis ossificans, tophaceous gout, and calcific myonecrosis. The radiologist plays a critical role in guiding the appropriate tests that can result in a conclusive diagnosis of tumoral calcinosis.
