Calcinosis cutis is a rare disease characterized by deposition of insoluble calcium salts in the skin. Subepidermal calcified nodule is a form of idiopathic calcinosis cutis that commonly affects children but rarely presents at birth. Herein we describe a healthy 10-month-old boy who had a solitary hard nodule on the left foot since birth. Surgical excision of the nodule was done and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of subepidermal calcified nodule.
皮肤钙化症是一种罕见疾病,其特征为皮肤中不溶性钙盐的沉积。表皮下钙化结节是特发性皮肤钙化症的一种形式,通常影响儿童,但很少在出生时出现。在此,我们描述一名健康的10个月大男婴,自出生以来左脚有一个孤立的硬结节。对该结节进行了手术切除,组织病理学确诊为表皮下钙化结节。
