[Soft tissue changes in pseudo-pseudo-hypoparathyroidism (author's transl)].

The authors have demonstrated subcutaneous calcification which is characteristic for pseudo-pseudo-hypoparathyroidism (pph) and which is best shown by xero-radiography. If the presence of pph is suspected, or if it needs to be distinguished from some other condition, it is valuable to obtain xerograms of the soft tissues of the extremities. In pph the subcutaneous calcification is in all probability derived from the skeleton.
