Abstract
|
|
|
|
Tumoral calcinosis is a rare disease involving the ectopic calcifications in the major juxtaarticular sites that was first described by Inclan Alberto in 1943. The etiology of tumoral calcinosis is still obscure. A disturbance of the phosphate metabolism in the kidney has been considered a major cause. However, some patients have no laboratory abnormalities. Tumoral calcinosis in the spine has not been reported in Korea. Recently, we encountered a case of tumoral calcinosis in the lumbar region. The clinical and pathological findings are discussed with a review of the relevant literature.
