Calcinosis cutis is a term used to describe a group of disorders in which calcium salt deposits form in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. We report a 6-year-old boy with hypoparathyroidism after thyroidectomy who was admitted to the hospital for severe hypocalcemia being treated with calcium gluconate intravenous infusion through peripheral veins. Within a few days we made a diagnosis of iatrogenic calcinosis cutis and treatment with 10% topical sodium thiosulfate was prescribed; complete resolution of lesions was achieved after 6 months, with no local or systemic adverse effects. Because of the lack of noninvasive alternatives and the good tolerance of the treatment, especially in childhood, we suggest the topical use of this drug as an option for this condition.

“…Metastatic calcifications are those caused by dysfunction of the calcium regulatory system, like renal disease, milk‐alkali syndrome, or hypervitaminosis D. Iatrogenic calcifications are secondary to extravasation of intravenous solutions containing calcium or phosphate, topical application of calcium‐rich substances or after organ transplantation. When these conditions are excluded, lesions can be classified as idiopathic calcifications . On the other hand, cutaneous ossifications or osteoma cutis lesions are characterized by calcium and phosphorus deposits in a proteinaceous matrix as hydroxyapatite crystals.…”

We report three cases of patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism or pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism. These diseases are considered GNAS inactivating mutation syndromes that are characterized by a diversity of alterations among which a particular phenotype and specific endocrine or ossification abnormalities may be found. These patients may present with hard cutaneous nodules, which can represent osteoma cutis. The presence of these lesions in pediatric patients should prompt the dermatologist's consideration of this group of diseases when reaching a diagnosis. A multidisciplinary team of pediatricians, endocrinologists, geneticists, and dermatologists should carefully evaluate these patients.
