  • Surgical management of Calcinosis Cutis universalis in systemic lupus erythematosus
    Arthritis and rheumatism, 1997
    Co-Authors: Marleen A. M. Cousins, Daniel B. Jones, Michael P. Whyte, William W. Monafo
    Abstract:

    Calcinosis Cutis is common in several connective tissue diseases but rare in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). A 43-year-old woman with a 12-year history of SLE who presented with Calcinosis Cutis at the time of SLE diagnosis developed a large, ulcerated, draining mass on her left hip. The lesion was excised and skin was grafted, with an excellent early result. The clinical variants and mechanisms of ectopic calcification are discussed, as well as the proposed medical therapies for Calcinosis Cutis.

  • photoletter to the editor Calcinosis Cutis in a burn scar
    Journal of Dermatological Case Reports, 2015
    Co-Authors: Aristoteles Rosmaninho, Sandrina Carvalho, Ines Lobo
    Abstract:

    Calcinosis Cutis is a rare condition characterized by the deposition of insoluble calcium salts in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Dystrophic Calcinosis Cutis appears as a result of local tissue damage or abnormalities, such as alterations in extra-cellular matrix proteins or subcutaneous tissue with normal calcium and phosphate serum levels. It has been rarely described as a late complication of burns. Latency periods of 15-54 years have been reported. We describe the case of a 57-year-old man with dystrophic Calcinosis Cutis in a burn scar, which developed 42 years after the skin injury. The condition was successfully treated with surgical excision.

  • nadroparin induced Calcinosis Cutis in renal transplant recipients
    Nephron, 2001
    Co-Authors: F M P Van Haren, D J Ruiter, L B Hilbrands
    Abstract:

    Low-molecular-weight heparins are routinely used to prevent deep venous thrombosis following renal transplantation in our department. We report 2 patients who developed tender erythematous subcutaneous nodules with induration, ulceration and necrosis at the site of subcutaneous administration of nadroparin. Both patients were renal transplant recipients with impaired graft function and high serum calcium-phosphate products. The diagnosis Calcinosis Cutis was confirmed by technetium-99m bone scan and by histological examination of biopsies. Both patients showed spontaneous recovery several weeks after discontinuation of nadroparin. Patients with chronic renal failure and hyperphosphatemia may be predisposed to develop Calcinosis Cutis. In addition, the role of the calcium content of nadroparin is discussed.
