  • Title: Regression of cutis calcinosis with diltiazem in adult dermatomyositis.
    Author: Abdallah-Lotf M, Grasland A, Vinceneux P, Sigal-Grinberg M.
    Journal: Eur J Dermatol; 2005; 15(2):102-4. PubMed ID: 15757822.
    Abstract:
    Calcinosis cutis is common in several connective tissue diseases such as dermatomyositis, scleroderma or lupus erythematous. In dermatomyositis, it is more likely to concern children than adults but it is not exceptional in adults. Several treatments have been used empirically with inconsistent success. We report a case of adult cutis calcinosis associated with dermatomyositis which responded dramatically to treatment with diltiazem.
