ABSTRACT
We report a case of calcinosis cutis following administration of 10% calcium gluconate, used for the treatment of a hypocalcemic seizure in a 5-week-old neonate. After administration of 10% calcium gluconate, subcutaneous induration developed at the infusion site. The histopathological findings taken from the dorsum of the left foot showed multiple foci of calcium deposits with infiltration of epitheloid histiocytes between collagen bundles and foreign body giant cells phagocyting calcific granules throughout the reticular dermis and subcutis.
