“…Intralesionally administered corticosteroids have also been reported to be of some benefit. 16 Most recently, alumi¬ num hydroxide has been reported to be successful in calcinosis universalis associated with dermatomyositis.17 The treatment of CC is frequently de¬ ferred, as CC associated with SLE is often asymp¬ tomatic, and CC is commonly a relatively unimpor¬ tant and innocuous aspect of the serious, and often life-threatening, components of the SLE disease spec¬ trum.…”

“…IC occurs in the absence of evident tissue or metabolic abnormalities, and is further subdivided into three distinctive disorders of childhood: Calcinosis circumscripta, IC of the scrotum, and SCN. [16] Idiopathic scrotal calcification is seen more often than the other two. [141517] A vulvar counterpart is also reported.…”

Multiple sub-epidermal calcified nodule mimicking eruptive xanthoma: A case report and review of the literature

et al. 2013

Sub-epidermal calcified nodule (SCN) is an uncommon form of idiopathic calcinosis. It usually occurs in children, particularly in the head and neck region, presenting as a solitary, painless, yellow-white nodule with papillomatous features. These lesions occur twice as common in males compared with females. The pathogenesis is uncertain, but the clinical and histological features of this lesion are distinctive. We report a case of 22-year-old man with multiple nodules bilaterally located on the dorsum of hands simulating eruptive xanthoma. Histopathological examination of one of the excised lesion confirmed the diagnosis showing epidermal and sub-epidermal deposition of calcium. This paper presents a review of the literature and adds a new case of SCN.

A Case of a Subepidermal Calcified Nodule on the Sole without Trauma

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Subepidermal calcified nodule is an uncommon form of calcinosis cutis, which most commonly occurs in children. It usually presents as an asymptomatic, solitary verrucous nodule on the head and neck region, but occasionally as multiple lesions. Serum calcium and phosphorus levels are usually normal. Histopathology shows well-formed homogeneous eosinophilic material and granules in the upper dermis. Material in the dermis stained with von Kossa was positive. We report on an unusual case of a subepidermal calcified nodule occurring on the sole. A 21-month-old male presented with an oval-shaped, whitish, hard nodule measuring 5×5 mm on the left sole, without any previous history of trauma.
