This case study details a 72-year-old woman diagnosed with idiopathic localized cutaneous calcinosis, a rare skin condition. Treatment with diltiazem was initiated for her recurring ulcers.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Internal Medicine
  • Pathology

Background:

  • A 72-year-old woman with hypertension presented with recurring, infected pretibial cutaneous ulcers.
  • Radiographic and biopsy findings revealed soft tissue calcifications and subepidermic calcified nodules.

Observation:

  • Physical examination was normal except for the described cutaneous lesions.
  • Patient history excluded trauma and intake of calcium or phosphorus-rich medications.

Findings:

  • Extensive investigations failed to identify an underlying pathological cause for the calcifications.
  • The diagnosis of idiopathic localized cutaneous calcinosis was established, as it was not secondary to titular lesions, metabolic alterations, or medical procedures.

Implications:
