ABSTRACT
Tumoral Calcinosis (TC) is a rare disease of obscure aetiology. In its classic form, it is characterised by solitary or multiple large foci of mineralisation in the soft tissue adjacent to the bone around large joints in the absence of disorders of calcium metabolism and visceral calcification. We present a rare case of tumoral Calcinosis associated with hyperphosphataemia in a 27-year old Sudanese woman. Histological findings confirmed the diagnosis of tumoral calcinosis. Laboratory investigations showed hyperphosphataemia with normal levels of serum calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH). The patient was treated successfully with surgical excision and acetazolamide.
