Tumoral calcinosis (TC) is a rare problem that can be idiopathic (primary) or secondary to other diseases, particularly end-stage renal disease. Although these 2 types of TC do not differ in their radiologic and histopathologic presentations, their treatment modalities may be changed on the basis of etiology. Surgical resection of the calcified mass is the main treatment for the primary type, but should be avoided in hemodialysis-related types, which are instead often treated with parathyroidectomy. In this article, we report on 2 cases of TC (different types). We also describe several aspects of diagnosis and different therapeutic approaches through a review of the literature.
肿瘤性钙化症（TC）是一种罕见病症，可为特发性（原发性），或继发于其他疾病，尤其是终末期肾病。尽管这两种类型的TC在放射学和组织病理学表现上并无差异，但其治疗方式可能会根据病因有所不同。手术切除钙化肿块是原发性TC的主要治疗方法，但对于与血液透析相关的类型应避免手术，这类患者通常采用甲状旁腺切除术进行治疗。在本文中，我们报告了2例TC（不同类型）病例。我们还通过文献综述描述了诊断的几个方面以及不同的治疗方法。
