Calcinosis cutis is characterized by the deposition of calcium salts in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. It is divided into the following subtypes: dystrophic, metastatic, iatrogenic, idiopathic and calciphylaxis. In this case, we report a 13-year-old Syrian boy with idiopathic calcinosis cutis, the lesions were unusually widespread, unlike the common condition which is usually localized to one area. The case was unrelated to any systemic or local disorders, and the patient had no complications, so no treatment was planned. As the best of our knowledge, there are very few cases of diffuse or widespread idiopathic calcinosis cutis. We analyzed the clinical, laboratory, radiographical and pathological characteristics of our patient, which helped us to reach the final diagnosis. We will discuss the pathogenesis, investigation and management of this disease.
皮肤钙化病的特征是皮肤和皮下组织中有钙盐沉积。它分为以下亚型：营养不良性、转移性、医源性、特发性和钙化防御。在此病例中，我们报告一名13岁的叙利亚男孩患有特发性皮肤钙化病，其病损异常广泛，与通常局限于一个部位的常见情况不同。该病例与任何全身性或局部性疾病无关，患者也无并发症，因此未计划进行治疗。据我们所知，弥漫性或广泛性特发性皮肤钙化病的病例非常少。我们分析了该患者的临床、实验室、影像学和病理学特征，这有助于我们做出最终诊断。我们将讨论这种疾病的发病机制、检查和处理。
