Canakinumab in addition to phosphate-binding and phosphaturia-inducing therapy were effective in achieving remission in a child with a large familial calcinotic tumour.

We describe the clinical evolution of a patient with tumoral calcinosis due to a pathogenic variant in the gene presented with a large mass overlying her left hip associated complicated by inflammatory flares. Therapy (sevelamer, acetazolamide, and probenecid) was unsuccessful in preventing tumour surgeries, therefore, interleukin-1β monoclonal antibody therapy was added; this was successful in the prevention of tumour re-growth. This case highlights the importance of assessing and treating the inflammatory aspect of calcinotic tumour.
