The authors report a case of tumoral calcinosis (TC) in a six-month-old infant, which developed within the thoracotomy scar from previous aortic coarctation repair. After initial resection of the lesion, the child returned with a large mass of TC restricting movement of the left shoulder. Repeated total resection was successful with no recurrence in 12 months' follow-up. This is the first report of TC that developed in a postoperative scar and is unusual in its recurrence and aggressive growth. Pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of this rare event is discussed.
作者报告了一例6个月大婴儿的肿瘤性钙化症（TC），该病症发生于先前主动脉缩窄修复术后的开胸手术瘢痕内。在最初切除病变后，患儿因左肩部有一大块限制活动的TC肿块而复诊。重复进行全切除手术成功，随访12个月无复发。这是首次关于在术后瘢痕中发生TC的报告，其复发和侵袭性生长情况较为罕见。本文讨论了这一罕见病例的发病机制、诊断和治疗。
