  • Title: Calcinosis as the presenting sign of juvenile dermatomyositis in a 14-month-old boy.
    Author: Martini A, Ravelli A, Viola S, Sambugaro R, De Benedetti F.
    Journal: Helv Paediatr Acta; 1987 Oct; 42(2-3):181-4. PubMed ID: 3692883.
    Abstract:
    We describe a 14-month-old child with dermatomyositis in whom calcinosis was the first sign of the disease. This case shows that calcinosis, usually a late complication of dermatomyositis, may be the presenting sign of the disease even in young children and when Gottron's sign is still absent and muscular weakness not prominent.
