ABSTRACT
Tumoral calcinosis is an uncommon disease, characterized by deposits of large, calcified soft tissue masses around major joints in children and young adults. The causes of the lesion have not yet been established, but are presumed an inborn error of metabolism of phosphorus. It has been recommanded medical treatment or surgical excision, but recurrence of the lesion is frequent. We report a case of young female patient who presented with tumoral calcinosis at the age of 10 years.
