Calcinosis Cutis: A Rare Complication Following Liver Transplantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The clinical manifestations of calcinosis cutis vary from asymptomatic cutaneous papules to lifethreatening calciphylaxis. We describe a 61-year-old female who was found to have extensive calcinosis cutis on her left forearm 4 days following liver transplantation. Large amount of calcium chloride solution was intravenously infused during the operation at the same site without gross extravasation. This uncommon complication may be attributed to local tissue hypercalcemia and concomitant impairment of renal function. Recognizing this phenomenon is important in managing patients with liver transplantation.(Dermatol Sinica 24: 131-134 , 2006)
