Secondary Tumoral Calcinosis with Intraosseous Penetration
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of a 55-year-old woman with chronic renal failure and secondary tumoral calcinosis with rare intraosseous penetration of the humerus. Typical lobulated calcifications with associated layering "milk of calcium" were present about the right shoulder and elbow on conventional radiographs, computed tomography images and magnetic resonance images. Rare appearance of cortical destruction and intraosseous extension of tumoral calcinosis into the medullary space was observed in the proximal humerus on CT and MR images. Since there is concern for pathologic fracture, radiologists should be aware of this rare complication of chronic renal disease.

We report a case of a tumoral calcinosis mimicking the appearance of recurrent osteosarcoma of the left femur and tibia in a 29-year-old woman with a history of osteosarcoma and chronic renal failure.

متن کاملTumoral Calcinosis Causing Bilateral Thigh Pain
We report a case of a 75-year-old female with bilateral thigh pain for several years secondary to soft tissue calcification. Massive calcinosis of the soft tissues is a unique, but not uncommon, radiographic finding. On the contrary, tumoral calcinosis is a rare familial disease. The term tumoral calcinosis has been overly used to describe any massive collection of periarticular calcification. ...
