    Tumoral calcinosis is a distinct clinicopathological entity characterized by periarticular soft-tissue calcium deposits. It is a rare condition in Tunisia (8 cases during 23 years). Six patients were aged 14 years or younger. There was male predominance (SR: 7/1). Lesions were located about the hip in five patients and the elbow in three patients. Multiple localisations occurred in two patients. Histologically, all cases exhibited active phase of the disease. In our patients lesions were only surgically excised.
