Impressive Subcutaneous Calcifications in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Maedica (Bucur). 2015 Mar;10(1):55-7.

Abstract

Dystrophic calcinosis cutis was commonly described in long-term dermatomyositis or systemic sclerosis, being rarely reported in other connective tissue diseases. We report the case of a 65-years old woman with an only 5-years history of systemic lupus erythematosus, who presents with multiple, impressive subcutaneous calcified masses and biological normal serum calcium and phosphate levels.

Keywords: Calcinosis cutis; subcutaneous calcifications.
