“…Milia‐like calcinosis occurs in children, but primarily on the hands and feet, most commonly in association with Down syndrome, and it has not been described on the penis . When calcinosis has been described on the penis, it has not been in the form of multiple milia‐like lesions .…”

“…To our knowledge, similar clinical and histological aspects have been observed in only a few cases. [3–5] All these cases presented with one or two nodules on the skin of the penis, with almost similar average duration (mean 9.8 months; range 6-10 months), between 4 and 20 mm in diameter (mean: 12.25 mm), in young people (mean and median ages were 18.8 and 16 years, respectively; range 13-25 years), with no history of local or systemic favouring factors, and without evidence of epithelial cyst lining or an adnexal tumor even with immunohistochemical studies. [4] The pathogenesis of idiopathic penile calcification may be similar to that proposed for idiopathic scrotal calcinosis, a more common disease characterized by multiple calcific deposits within scrotal skin.…”

“…(iii) Idiopathic calcification refers to calcification in healthy tissues in the presence of normal serum calcium and phosphate levels. Two important causes include tumoral calcinosis (9) and idiopathic calcinosis of the face, scrotum, scrotum, penis or labia (10). Tumoral calcinosis is a rare, familial form of idiopathic calcification, which presents with large subcutaneous calcium deposits near joints or pressure areas.…”

Chronic ulcers, calcification and calcified fibrous tumours: phenotypic manifestations of a congenital disorder of heterotopic ossification

Calcification is a rarely reported cause for chronic, cutaneous ulceration. Although dystrophic calcification occurs in chronic ulcers, idiopathic calcification and ossification leading to recurrent ulcerations is seldom reported. This report illustrates a challenging case with various non healing wounds, calcification/ossification and calcified fibrous tumours. A 56-year-old woman presented with chronic, painful wounds and calcified deposits in her feet, hands and abdomen, some dating back to childhood. The surgeries she had had for various unrelated conditions healed with hard, calcified deposits, which later ulcerated. Skeletal radiological imaging revealed multiple soft-tissue deposits, with calcification and areas of ossification, along with gross distortion of the bony architecture of her feet. All biochemical investigations were normal apart from raised serum alkaline phosphatase. The management has encompassed a combination of conservative and surgical measures (culminating in a left below-knee amputation) with varying degrees of success. Having ruled out other causes of subcutaneous calcification, three congenital disorders of heterotopic ossification fit this patient's presentation: Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO), fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) and progressive osseous heteroplasia (POH). Although AHO and FOP are possibilities, POH is most likely. In addition to describing the diverse phenotypic manifestations of this disorder, this report discusses the diagnostic dilemmas, difficulties in optimising the management plan and issues relating to health-related quality of life in this patient.
