  • Title: Calcinosis cutis following trauma.
    Author: Larralde M, Giachetti A, Cáceres MR, Rodríguez M, Casas J.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 2005; 22(3):227-9. PubMed ID: 15916570.
    Abstract:
    We report an 8-year-old boy who developed dystrophic calcinosis cutis that occurred following trauma. Multiple abrasions were observed in the inguinal folds after a soccer game. Subsequently, multiple papules with soft centers and white particles appeared in the same area. A biopsy specimen showed calcinosis cutis with transepidermal elimination of calcium. The causes of the underlying tissue damage associated with dystrophic calcinosis are discussed.
