Tumoral calcinosis is a rare disorder with the calcified masses in subcutaneous tissues. We report herein a nine-year-old girl, in whom the calcified lesions bilaterally involved the soft tissues in the anterior part of the knee joint. Serum calcium and phosphorus levels were in normal ranges and there was no family history. Surgical excision was performed and recurrence was not observed in early follow-up. Review of the literature shows that only clinical and radiological appearance of tumoral calcinosis are generally agreed while its epidemiology, etiology and treatment are still under discussion.
肿瘤性钙化是一种罕见的疾病，表现为皮下组织出现钙化肿块。我们在此报告一名9岁女孩，其双侧钙化病变累及膝关节前部的软组织。血清钙和磷水平在正常范围内，且无家族史。进行了手术切除，早期随访未观察到复发。文献回顾显示，虽然肿瘤性钙化的临床和影像学表现已基本达成共识，但其流行病学、病因和治疗仍在讨论中。
