  • Title: Dystrophic calcinosis cutis in autosomal recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.
    Author: Bhari N, Bharti P.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2019 Sep 20; 12(9):. PubMed ID: 31540927.
    Abstract:
    A 6-year-old girl presented with a history of blistering and scarring in trauma-prone areas. On examination, calcium deposits were seen on bilateral palms and soles within her non-healing wounds. Clinical, genetic and radiological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of autosomal recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa with dystrophic calcification. The patient was started on topical 10% sodium thiosulfate for her calcinosis cutis. Identification and management of dystrophic calcification are important as it impairs wound healing.
