Tumor-like calcinosis is an infrequent condition whose etiology is poorly understood. Calcifications develop in the subcutaneous tissue neighboring the large joints. All age groups can be affected, although the disease is more common before the age of twenty years. A new case of tumor-like calcinosis in an eight-year-old girl is reported here. A huge mass in the right hip region and a smaller mass around the right elbow were found. Biologic studies revealed increased serum phosphorus levels with normal serum calcium levels. Roentgenograms confirmed the diagnosis of tumor-like calcinosis by showing calcified masses independent from the bones of the neighboring joint. Management consisted in complete removal of both masses. Outcome was favorable. In this patient's family, the disease appears to be inherited according to a dominant pattern, although recessive autosomal transmission is believed to be more common.
肿瘤样钙质沉着症是一种罕见病症，其病因尚不清楚。钙化发生在大关节附近的皮下组织。各年龄组均可受累，不过该病在20岁之前更为常见。本文报告了一例8岁女孩患肿瘤样钙质沉着症的新病例。发现右髋部有一个巨大肿块，右肘部周围有一个较小肿块。生物学研究显示血清磷水平升高而血清钙水平正常。X线片显示钙化肿块与相邻关节的骨骼无关，从而确诊为肿瘤样钙质沉着症。治疗方法是将两个肿块完全切除。结果良好。在该患者家族中，该病似乎按显性模式遗传，不过据信常染色体隐性遗传更为常见。
