    Intra-articular calcifications are a rare complication of progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS). This case suggests a mechanical cause, differing from the typical inflammatory process seen in PSS.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Radiology
    • Pathogenesis

    Background:

    • Progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) is frequently associated with subcutaneous and periarticular calcifications.
    • Intra-articular calcifications within joints are an exceptionally rare manifestation of PSS.

    Observation:

    • This report details a novel case of intra-articular calcification in a patient with PSS.
    • Radiological follow-up provided insights into the development of this unusual complication.

    Findings:

    • The observed pattern suggests a mechanical etiology for intra-articular calcifications in PSS.
    • This contrasts with the generally accepted inflammatory mechanisms driving other PSS-related calcifications.

    Implications:

  • Understanding the pathogenetic mechanism is crucial for managing PSS complications.
  • This finding may influence future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for joint involvement in PSS.
