Özet
Calcinosis cutis is characterized by deposition of insoluble calcium salts in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Based on the etiology of calcium deposition in the skin, calcinosis cutis is divided into four groups including: dystrophic, metastatic, iatrogenic, idiopathic. Metastatic calcification is described as precipitation of calcium salts in normal tissues because of hyperphosphatemia or hypercalcemia and it may be associated with conditions such as chronic renal failure, neoplasms, sarcoidosis, hyperparathyroidism, hypervitaminosis D. Metabolic renal failure is the most common cause of metastatic calcification. Diagnosis is put together with clinical and histopathological correlation. The mainstay of treatment is resolved of the underlying disease. Here a patient is presented with calcified plaque lesions on the bilateral axillary region for two months who is undergoing hemodialysis seven years due to chronic renal failure and uses crutches for four months because of traffic accidents.
