“…One case had a recurrence after the surgical procedure, and the rest of the two patients were kept on a low phosphate diet, calcium diet, and aluminum hydroxide with no evidence of recurrence. Alam et al [4] reported one case of a two-year-old boy who had a history of multiple nodular swellings over the right lower limb and right side of the chest. The patient had no history of trauma or infection.…”

Tumoral calcinosis has long been a disputed clinical-pathological subject. It has been characterized by the deposition of calcium salt and hydroxyapatite in different periarticular soft tissue regions. It is most commonly seen in adults, and rarely seen in children. In this report, we present the case of a six-year-old girl referred to our institution for one year with a history of left hip pain and swelling. The patient underwent an open reduction of left hip and acetabuloplasty for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) at the age of two years. Systematic investigations were performed and showed that the patient had abnormal calcifications and large, ill-defined lesions with an irregular margin on the left hip extended to the left gluteal area with skin ulceration suggestive of primary tumor calcinosis. Medical therapy has started, and a follow-up appointment was given to her in a pediatric metabolic clinic. In addition, we present a brief literature review of the effect of medical and surgical treatments on tumor calcinosis.

“…The third type is characterized by normocalcemia and normophosphatemia. The patient can be presented before the second decade of life [3][4][5], and it has a sporadic pattern. The concept of tumoral calcinosis was described by Inclan et al [6] in his review which defined this condition as an abnormal calcification of soft tissue.…”

We describe a case of a 40-year-old female patient presenting with tumor calcinosis where hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy (HPOA) was suspected given her extensive history of malignancy. Plain X-rays did not show reveal the typical periarticular calcification but did show appearances consistent with HPOA. Bone scintigraphy with 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) is a sensitive investigation in the detection of hypertrophic osteoarthopathy but did not show findings characteristics of HPOA like bilateral symmetrical increased uptake of the radiopharmaceutical along the cortical margins of the long bones. The final diagnosis of tumor calcinosis was only made after low dose computerized tomography chest showed a moderated sized amorphous calcified cluster in the apical segment of the right upper lobe consistent. In conclusion, bone scintigraphy continues to be a useful investigation for both common and rare conditions like tumor calcinosis. The unusual three phase bone scan finding of diffuse activity throughout both lung fields, which turned to out to be tumoral calcinosis is highlighted in this case.

“…Tumoral calcinosis (TC), a very rare disease entity, occurred in the described patient with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) due to disturbed calcium phosphate metabolism, in which a calci ed mass grows around a large joint, and can occur in patients undergoing renal dialysis (1). It is characterized by the deposition of calcium material in the periarticular soft tissues.…”

Tumoral calcinosis is a rare condition characterized by the deposition of calcium material in extra-articular soft tissues taking a tumoral form. It can be primary or secondary. The chronic kidney disease is among cause of metastatic calcifications but the extensive periarticular cyst-like calcium salt containing space-consuming lesions in the form of tumoral calcinosis is very rare. Different factors predispose the dialysis patient to calcium salt deposits. We report a case of 61 years-old-patient with chronic kidney disease under periodic hemodialysis due to hypertensive nephropathy who developed mechanical pain, evolving since three months, in the left hip, the upper extremity of the right leg and both shoulders with swelling and limited movement interfering with daily activity. The severe TC was diagnosed by the radiography and MRI requiring the modification of treatment strategy.
