Calcinose peritendínea do tendão calcâneo associada a dermatomiosite: correlação entre radiografia convencional, ultra-sonografia, ressonância magnética e macroscopia cirúrgica

Abstract

A calcinose intersticial é uma afecção incomum, na qual existe deposição de cálcio localizada ou disseminada na pele, tecido celular subcutâneo, músculos e tendões. Freqüentemente a calcinose está associada com doenças do tecido conjuntivo, como esclerodermia e dermatomiosite. Os autores relatam um caso de calcinose intersticial associada a dermatomiosite, estudada com radiografia convencional, ultra-sonografia, ressonância magnética, e com correlação com a macroscopia cirúrgica. Unitermos: Calcinose; Calcinose intersticial; Dermatomiosite; Radiografia convencional; Ultra-sonografia; Ressonância magnética.Peritendinous calcinosis of calcaneus tendon associated with dermatomyositis: correlation between conventional radiograph, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging and gross surgical pathology. Interstitial calcinosis is an uncommon condition in which there is either localized or widely disseminated deposition of calcium in the skin, subcutaneous tissues, muscles, and tendons. Calcinosis is often associated with collagen diseases, scleroderma and dermatomyositis. The authors report a case of interstitial calcinosis associated with dermatomyositis studied with conventional radiograph, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, and correlate the imaging findings with the results of surgical pathology gross examination.
