Abstract
|
|
|
|
Tumoral calcinosis is a disease of unclear etiology which presents with periarticular and intramuscular calcification without the disorder of calcium and phosphorus metabolism. The incidence is very rare but the rate is higher among the blacks than whites. There has been no report on the recurrent occurrence on the asian race. We report a case that recurred several times with tumoral calcinosis of both knee and thigh. A 21-year-old woman visited to our department with masses in both right thigh and knee. She had a history of local excisions and biopsies(4 times at other hospital) and showed prompt recurrences. The complete marginal excision was performed for the treatment. The histological examination showed the findings that are compatible with tumoral calcinosis. There has been a free of recurrence over the past two years.
