Calcinosis cutis, osteoma cutis, poikiloderma and skeletal abnormalities (COPS syndrome) — a new entity?

A 4-year-old boy with subcutaneous tumours is described. These tumours were calcified and had secondary osteoma formation. In addition the patient showed poikiloderma on the face and less prominently on arms and legs. X-ray films of the distal metaphyses of the radius, ulna and tibia revealed irregular mineralisation. Repeated laboratory tests revealed no abnormalities of fat, bone and mineral metabolism. This patient showed a unique combination of symptoms. We propose to call this syndrome: COPS-syndrome (Calcinosis cutis, Osteoma cutis, Poikiloderma and Skeletal abnormalities).

“…Cutaneus bone formation may occur as a metaplastic change within a wide variety of benign and malignant conditions, and many such cases have been recorded [1,3,4,8,9,11], In the absence of a pre-existing or associated lesion, cutaneous ossification has been described under a variety of names as primary osteoma [7,8], osteoma [6], osteosis cutis [2], osteodermatopathia hypertrophicans [10], disseminated congenital osteomas [11], and osteosis cutis circumscripta [5]. This variety of names, on the other hand shows that histogenesis is not yet fully defined.…”
