“…Our findings of normal serum calcium, phosphorous, acid and alkaline phosphatase agree with the findings of Kilburn [12], Clark [7], Barton and Reeves [3], Plitman and Gendel [17] and El Hefnawi [8], The tissue contained mostly calcium phosphate and a little calcium carbonate. The same has been reported by Maloney and Bloom [15], Atkinson and Weber [2], El Hefnawi [8] and Thompson et al [19], The interesting finding in our series, which was not reported so far, is the increased activity of acid phosphatase in the calcified areas.…”

“…2 The subject has been subsequently discussed by Rothstein Kilburn,8 and by Sunderman and Sunderman in 1957.9 The aim of the present case report is to present a healthy, growing child with a local¬ ized form of interstitial calcinosis apparently unassociated with a concomitant generalized disease state and differing from the more severe types of calcinosis recently stressed in the pediatrie literature. 2 The subject has been subsequently discussed by Rothstein Kilburn,8 and by Sunderman and Sunderman in 1957.9 The aim of the present case report is to present a healthy, growing child with a local¬ ized form of interstitial calcinosis apparently unassociated with a concomitant generalized disease state and differing from the more severe types of calcinosis recently stressed in the pediatrie literature.…”

Introduction: The deposition of calcium in the skin is known as calcinosis cutis. It can affect any part of the body and can mimic soft tissue or bony lesions clinically. Aim: To describe the clinical and cytomorphologic features of calcinosis cutis on fine needle aspiration cytology smears. Materials and Methods: A total of 17 cases reported as calcinosis cutis on fine needle aspiration cytology were reviewed for the available clinical and cytological details. Results: The cohort included both adult and pediatric patients. Clinically, the lesions appeared as painless swellings of variable sizes. The common sites affected were the scrotum, iliac region, scalp, pinna, neck, axilla, elbow, arm, thigh, and gluteal region. Aspirate was chalky white, paste-like in all the cases. The cytologic evaluation revealed amorphous crystalline deposits of calcium along with histiocytes, lymphocytes, and multinucleated giant cells. Conclusions: Calcinosis cutis has a wide spectrum of clinical presentations. Fine needle aspiration cytology is a minimally invasive approach for diagnosing calcinosis cutis, thus eliminating the need for more extensive biopsy procedures.
