“…In addition to trauma-associated dystrophic calcinosis cutis, several conditions have also been observed in patients with subungual calcification (Table 1) [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Indeed, elderly individuals have also been found to occasionally have subungual calcification in their normal nail beds.…”

A dystrophic nail is an alteration of the physical appearance and structural properties of the nail from its shape, color, and texture, which can result from multiple etiologies. Calcinosis cutis is a condition that refers to the calcium deposition in the skin and underlying tissue. A 55-year-old man who presented with a split right thumbnail associated with subungual calcinosis cutis affecting the same digit for a duration of nine years is described. He did not recall trauma to the affected area. Microscopic evaluation of the tissue specimen obtained following a biopsy of the affected digit's nail matrix showed foci of calcium in the dermis. The correlation of his clinical presentation and biopsy findings established a diagnosis of subungual calcinosis cutis. Subungual calcification has been observed in several clinical settings. In addition to subungual calcinosis cutis, it has been noted as a normal finding in elderly individuals. In addition, it has been observed in patients with scleroderma or following trauma to the site. Less commonly, subungual calcification can be associated with idiopathic conditions: calcifying aponeurotic fibroma, digital calcinosis circumscripta, subepidermal calcified nodule, and calcified subungual epidermoid inclusion.

“…O fibroma aponeurótico calcificante é tumor benigno raro que acomete principalmente mãos e pés em crianças e adolescentes, já descrito em outros locais como mandíbula, pescoço, couro cabeludo, antebraço, coxa, joelhos, abdome e região lombossacra (7,10) . Foi primeiramente descrito por Keasby em 1953 como fibroma aponeurótico juvenil, sendo também chamado de fibromatose juvenil (1,7,10) . Os pacientes apresentam pequenas massas de tecidos moles, mal delimitadas, endurecida e de crescimento lento (5,10) .…”

“…Os exames preferenciais para diagnosticar e delimitar a lesão são a ressonância magnética e a tomografia computadorizada. A tomografia pode revelar massa de tecido mole não específica, com calcificação pontilhada, e pode mostrar o padrão de crescimento infiltra tivo da lesão para os tecidos circundantes (10) . Na ressonância, os achados incluem massa mal definida de tecido mole com calcificações salpicadas, com sinal de intensidade baixa ou intermediária em T1, e imagem de intermediário a alta intensidade em T2.…”

RESUMOO fibroma aponeurótico calcificante (FAC) é uma lesão rara que pode acometer os pés, devendo ser considerado como diagnóstico diferencial dos tumores plantares. O tratamento é dado pela ressecção cirúrgica, sendo o diagnóstico definitivo comprovado pela análise histopatológica. O presente relato de caso mostra a apresentação e tratamento de um paciente de 17 anos com FAC, e ressalta a importância do planejamento adequado com imagens pra diminuir riscos e postergar as recidivas.

The treatment is given by surgical resection, and the definitive diagnosis is confirmed by histopathological analysis. This case report shows the presentation and treatment of a 17-year-old patient with CAF and emphasizes the importance of proper imaging planning to reduce risks and recurrence.
