[A rare complication of metastatic peri-articular calcifications in chronic uremia: articular bone erosions (author's transl)].

A rare complication was observed of the peri-articular metastatic calcifications in patients in periodic hemodialysis, suffering from chronic uremia: the subcondral bone erosions adjacent to the calcifications. Three cases are described. A discussion follows concerning the pathogenesis of the lesion, which has not yet been reported in literature, as far as known by the authors.
