ABSTRACT
Calcinosis cutis is an uncommon disorder and defined as the deposit of insoluble calcium salts in the skin. It is classified as dystrophic, metastatic, idiopathic, and iatrogenic according to etiology. The dystrophic type is the most common and occurs in the previously damaged tissue, including connective tissue diseases, panniculitis, inherited disorders, benign and malignant tumors, a variety of scarring caused by burn, radiation, trauma, surgery, and keloid. Treatment options are limited. Whereas medical therapy is usually not very effective, surgical intervention has shown to be beneficial and is indicated when painful masses, recurrent infection, ulcerations, functional impairment, and cosmetic concerns exist. Herein, we report two cases of dystrophic calcinosis cutis associated with longstanding, painful, ulcerated cutaneous lesions in the extremities successfully treated with surgical excision.
