We report a rare case of dystrophic calcinosis in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis in bilateral buttock lesions and the right elbow joint. The calcinosis was surgically removed because it caused severe local pain, possible infection, and difficulty in sitting. Because no recommended standard pharmacotherapy exists for dystrophic calcinosis, surgical treatment should be taken into consideration when calcinosis causes severe local pain or restricts activities of daily life.
我们报告了一例罕见的类风湿关节炎患者双侧臀部病变和右侧肘关节的营养不良性钙化病例。由于钙化导致严重的局部疼痛、可能的感染和坐姿困难,因此进行了手术切除。由于目前尚无针对营养不良性钙化的推荐标准药物治疗方法,当钙化导致严重的局部疼痛或限制日常生活活动时,应考虑手术治疗。
