  • Title: Complete resolution of universal calcinosis in a patient with juvenile dermatomyositis using pamidronate.
    Author: Slimani S, Abdessemed A, Haddouche A, Ladjouze-Rezig A.
    Journal: Joint Bone Spine; 2010 Jan; 77(1):70-2. PubMed ID: 20031471.
    Abstract:
    A 14-year-old girl with juvenile dermatomyositis developed extensive and debilitating calcinosis, unresponsive to colchicine, while muscle involvement subsided. Pamidronate (2mg/kg/year) produced dramatic improvement of pain and function within 2 months and calcinosis had completely resolved by 2 years. No new calcifications have been noted with a 5-year follow-up.
