Examination revealed a firm swelling of 3×4 cms over the proximal ventral aspect of left forearm and linear swellings over the medial aspect of left upper arm (Fig. 1(a)). Systemic examination and routine blood workup was normal. Ultrasound and X-ray of the swelling revealed subcutaneous calcification (Fig. 1(b)).

A diagnosis of iatrogenic calcinosis cutis was made.
