ABSTRACT
Calcinosis cutis is the deposition of insoluble calcium salts in the skin. Dystrophic calcinosis cutis is diagnosed when calcium is deposited in the previous damaged tissue and the values of calcium and phosphorus levels are normal. We report a case of dystrophic calcinosis cutis in a 32-year-old man. He had experienced a burn accidentally on the left anterior thigh at 2 years old. About 1 year ago, an ulcer developed on the burn scar. He found the chalky material in an ulcer and removed it, then the ulcer healed. But, new ulcers developed in a linear pattern. Histopathologically, amorphous eosinophilic materials that were black with Von Kossa stain were deposited in the dermis.
