Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pediatrics
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Calcinosis cutis is characterized by hydroxyapatite crystals of calcium phosphate deposited in the skin.
  • It is classified into dystrophic, metastatic, and idiopathic types.
  • Childhood cases are infrequently described.

Observation:

  • An 8-year-old girl presented with hyperphosphatemia secondary to tumor lysis syndrome.
  • She developed localized soft tissue calcification over a prior ecthyma gangrenosum lesion.
  • Intravenous calcium gluconate infusion was a potential precipitating factor.

Findings:

  • The patient exhibited localized soft tissue calcification.
  • Hyperphosphatemia and a history of ecthyma gangrenosum were noted.
  • The case suggests simultaneous etiopathogenic mechanisms in calcinosis cutis.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of calcinosis cutis in children.
  • It underscores the potential for multifactorial causes in calcinosis cutis.
  • Highlights the importance of considering various etiologies in pediatric calcinosis cutis.
