Abstract:
Calcinosis universalis is an unusual complication of systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE). We describe the case of a 22-year-old patient diagnosed with SLE during childhood, who developed a previously unreported complication of parotid calcification. Medical treatment of calcinosis is often ineffective, whereas surgical intervention completely relieved the patient's symptoms.
