ABSTRACT

Idiopathic calcinosis cutis is a rare disorder and occurs in the absence of known tissue injury or systemic metabolic defect. It is a skin calcification process with abnormal deposits of calcium phosphate in the skin in various parts of the body. It is a rare and benign syndrome which does not cause any late complication and whose prognosis is therefore favourable. Hereby, I am reporting a case of 40 years old male who presented with multiple asymptomatic calcified nodules in the scrotum with normal lab findings. Excision of the nodule on histopathological examination revealed foci of calcification separated by fibrous septa in the dermis.

ABSTRACT

We found calcified pulmonary nodules in a middle-aged female mummy discovered from 350-yr-old Joseon tomb of Korea. In the CT scan, we found six radiopaque nodules in right lung, through the levels of thoracic vertebrae 1 to 6. We also found presumptive pleural adhesions in right thoracic cavity of CT images. We re-confirmed radiological findings by our post-factum dissection on the same mummy. By the differential diagnosis, we speculate that the radiopaque calcification nodules and associated pleural adhesion could have been caused by tuberculosis. This is the first-ever report on the pulmonary tuberculosis identified in archaeologically obtained, pre-modern Korean samples.
