A Case of Symmetric Dystrophic Calcinosis Cutis Following Subcutaneous Injections / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Calcinosis cutis is the abnormal deposition of calcium phosphate into the skin. It is classified as dystrophic if the calcium is deposited in previously damaged tissue, and serum calcium and phosphorous levels are normal. We report a case of symmetric dystrophic calcinosis cutis on the both proximal arms of a 77-year-old woman who received a subcutaneous injection at each arm 30 years ago.
