“…The patient did not return for recall appointments nor for further treatment. Hunter et al (1973) described a case of tumoval calcinosis in a 15-year-old girl from Bangladesh. The prominant dental findings reported were gross radicular abnormalities and ovoid radiopaque masses in the coronal third of the root.…”

“…Dental findings, in the form of periodontal and anatomical changes of the dentition, have served as markers of the variable expressivity of the disease (Lyles et al 1986). To our knowledge, only 1 case of TC has been reported in the dental literature (Hunter et al 1973). Recently.…”

“…They are also credited with being the first to recognize its association with calcific myelitis. Additional selective case reports in the literature have included characteristic dental abnormalities (12,13) and other locations of the calcinosis masses: temporomandibular joint, scalp, larynx, spine, sacrum, hand, and knee (14 -19). Ocular involvement can range from angioid streaks to corneal calcification deposits (20).…”

Massive periarticular calcinosis of the soft tissues is a unique but not rare radiographic finding. On the contrary, tumoral calcinosis is a rare familial disease. Unfortunately, the term tumoral calcinosis has been liberally and imprecisely used to describe any massive collection of periarticular calcification, although this term actually refers to a hereditary condition associated with massive periarticular calcification. The inconsistent use of this term has created confusion throughout the literature. More important, if the radiologist is unfamiliar with tumoral calcinosis or disease processes that mimic this condition, then diagnosis could be impeded, treatment could be delayed, and undue alarm could be raised, possibly leading to unwarranted surgical procedures. The soft-tissue lesions of tumoral calcinosis are typically lobulated, well-demarcated calcifications that are most often distributed along the extensor surfaces of large joints. There are many conditions with similar appearances, including the calcinosis of chronic renal failure, calcinosis universalis, calcinosis circumscripta, calcific tendonitis, synovial osteochondromatosis, synovial sarcoma, osteosarcoma, myositis ossificans, tophaceous gout, and calcific myonecrosis. The radiologist plays a critical role in avoiding unnecessary invasive procedures and in guiding the selection of appropriate tests that can result in a conclusive diagnosis of tumoral calcinosis.

“…On computed tomography (CT), the appearance of the calcified masses varies from small and solid in some patients to large and cystic in other patients (7); in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), they display high signal intensity on T2 weighted images (7). Panoramic dental radiograms reveal pathognomonic dental abnormality of short bulbous bulbous roots and partial obliteration of pulp cavities, which strongly support the diagnosis (7,12,20,24,25).…”

A patient with a 32-year history of tumoral calcinosis is described. The calcified lesions involved the soft tissues in the hips, shoulders, and ankles. Periodically, a chalky semifluid material extruded through several cutaneous sinuses. Laboratory tests including serum calcium concentration were normal, except for slight elevation of serum phosphorous levels. Ophthalmologic examination revealed the interesting finding of subretinal angioid streaks. The dental radiograms disclosed pathognomonic short bulbous roots and partial obliteration of pulp cavities, while the radiological evaluation of the tumoral masses revealed typical features of tumoral calcinosis.
