Abstract

FERNANDEZ COUCE, Gladys et al. Calcinosis cutis. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2010, vol.82, n.2. ISSN 0034-7531.

This is the case of a white female patient aged 2, assessed in its origin province due to presence of cutaneous nodules of multiple localizations in lower limbs and in abdomen, referred to "Juan Manuel Márquez" Children Hospital. Lower limbs X-rays showed soft tissues calcifications and a biopsy confirmed the presence of calcified subepidermal nodules. In anamnesis there were neither traumata backgrounds in the area nor consumption of drugs rich in calcium and phosphorus. The physical examination was normal except the above mentioned lesions. Studies to determine some underlying disease that could justify this clinical picture were conducted but without obvious causes. Since the cutaneous Calcinosis is not secondary to systemic affections and there is not metabolic alterations or of other type, diagnosis con idiopathic localized cutaneous calcinosis was made.

Keywords : Calcinosis cutis; cutaneous calcinosis.
