ABSTRACT
A tumoral calcinosis is considered a rare disorder with a poorly understood etiology. This uncommon soft tissue calcification is characterized clinically by the presence of an irregular, painless, periarticular soft tissue calcifying mass. People from African decent are mainly affected with the disease, which typically occurs in the periarticular regions. We report a case of a middle aged woman who complained a left inguinal subcutaneous mass. The characteristic clinical features, radiological and pathological findings are described. A diagnosis of a tumoral calcinosis can be difficult to make due to the unfailiarity of its clinical and radiological features. This presented report will help surgeons to easily diagnose this condition.
