“…In addition, skin calcification has been reported in sarcoidosis, 32 pseudohyperparathyroidism, 33 neoplasms associated with bony destruction, and after liver and lung transplants because of the large amounts of intravenous calcium needed to correct hypocalcemia after the use of blood products. 34,35 Calciphylaxis Calciphylaxis, also known as "calcific uremic arteriolopathy," "calcifying panniculitis," or "cutaneous gangrene with vascular calcification," is a disease in which calcification of the walls of small-to-medium-sized vessels in the dermis and subcutis induces ischemic necrosis of the skin. This severe disorder typically affects patients with end-stage renal disease (Fig.…”

: The cutaneous deposition disorders are a group of unrelated conditions characterized by the accumulation of either endogenous or exogenous substances within the skin. These cutaneous deposits are substances that are not normal constituents of the skin and are laid down usually in the dermis, but also in the subcutis, in a variety of different circumstances. There are 5 broad categories of cutaneous deposits. The first group includes calcium salts, bone, and cartilage. The second category includes the hyaline deposits that may be seen in the dermis in several metabolic disorders, such as amyloidosis, gout, porphyria, and lipoid proteinosis. The third category includes various pigments, heavy metals, and complex drug pigments. The fourth category, cutaneous implants, includes substances that are inserted into the skin for cosmetic purposes. The fifth category includes miscellaneous substances, such as oxalate crystals and fiberglass. In this article, the authors review the clinicopathologic characteristics of cutaneous deposition diseases, classify the different types of cutaneous deposits, and identify all the histopathologic features that may assist in diagnosing the origin of a cutaneous deposit.

“…Numerous cases of calcinosis cutis have been reported after solid organ transplantation [6][7][8] . After liver transplantation, soft tissue calcifi cations have been described in 47-84% of cases, most frequently in the lungs, blood vessels, kidneys, pancreas, liver graft, adrenal glands, colon and gastric mucosa.…”
