Uremic tumoral calcinosis: A case report

Abstract

Tumoral calcinosis, first termed by Inclan et al., 1 is a rare condition characterized by massive metastatic calcification around joints, which presents as single or multiple superficial or deep hard caseous nodules located periarticularly. The common symptoms of tumoral calcinosis are joint stiffness, joint functional impairment, and neurovascular compression. In the present case, the nodules were situated around the shoulder and wrist with no other symptoms. In particular, we, for the first time, report calcium oxalate crystal imaging in the mass via polarized microscopy.
