  • Title: Milia-like idiopathic calcinosis cutis: an unusual dermatosis associated with Down syndrome.
    Author: Schepis C, Siragusa M, Palazzo R, Batolo D, Romano C.
    Journal: Br J Dermatol; 1996 Jan; 134(1):143-6. PubMed ID: 8745902.
    Abstract:
    We describe two boys affected by Down syndrome (DS), who showed milia-like idiopathic calcinosis cutis (MICC). The clinical diagnosis was confirmed by histological examination. All reported cases are reviewed and compared. Syringeal structures play a significant part in the pathogenesis of this dermatosis. MICC appears to be a poorly recognized condition which, rarely, is associated with DS.
