Tumoral calcinosis with unusual presentation. A case report.

A case of multiple para-articular calcific masses involving the elbow, hand, back, knee and the feet was encountered. Pathology after surgical excision of all the masses revealed tumoral calcinosis. The unusual feature was the huge size of the lumbar and knee masses, and the distal location of the swellings in the hand and the foot; there was no disturbance of calcium and phosphorus metabolism, which was an unusual feature of the condition in this patient.
