Calcinosis cutis on the face.

A 46-year-old male patient came to our outpatient clinic with a white lesion on his right cheek. He explained that this lesion occured approximately 25 years ago. There was no family history of similar lesion. Dermatological examination revealed white plaque with an irregular surface 0.5 cm x 1 cm in size on his right cheek, which seemed to be whitewashed [Figure 1]. Skin biopsy was performed from the lesion. Histopathological examination of the specimen revealed calcium deposits in the dermis [Figure 2]. We diagnosed the patient as calcinosis cutis. Laboratory investigations revealed normal calcium and phosphate levels. Other laboratory tests for systemic diseases were also in normal ranges.
