Tumoral Calcinosis is a distinct clinical and histological entity that is characterized by large periarticular deposits of calcium resembling a neoplasm and is found foremost in the region of hip, shoulder and elbow. We report a case of Tumoral Calcinosis in a 25-year-old male who presented to us with gradually increasing swelling of right axilla, and both hips of nearly two years duration. It was diagnostic enigma for the treating surgeons but with the help of an astute pathologist we diagnosed this rare condition and successfully treated it surgically.
肿瘤性钙化是一种独特的临床和组织学实体,其特征是关节周围有大量类似肿瘤的钙沉积,主要见于髋部、肩部和肘部区域。我们报告一例25岁男性的肿瘤性钙化病例,该患者右腋窝及双髋部逐渐肿胀近两年。这对治疗外科医生来说是一个诊断难题,但在一位敏锐的病理学家的帮助下,我们诊断出了这种罕见疾病,并成功地进行了手术治疗。
