Tumoral calcinosis is an uncommon, usually solitary, tumour-like mass characterized by soft tissue calcification for no apparent reason. Nearly all cases have occurred in negroes, including 2 previously recorded in this country. We report 7 cases seen over a period of 3 years in English caucasian patients and suggest that the condition is not rare but goes unrecognized under a variety of guises. Three of these 7 patients, 2 of whom were on haemodialysis for renal failure, had isolated hyperphosphataemia, which is the only aetiological factor detected so far. Surgical excision appears to be the only effective treatment.
肿瘤性钙化是一种罕见的、通常为单发的、肿瘤样肿块，其特征是软组织无明显原因地发生钙化。几乎所有病例都发生在黑人中，包括该国之前记录的2例。我们报告了在3年期间诊治的7例英国白种人患者，并表明这种疾病并不罕见，而是在各种表象下未被识别。这7例患者中有3例，其中2例因肾衰竭接受血液透析，存在孤立性高磷血症，这是目前检测到的唯一病因。手术切除似乎是唯一有效的治疗方法。
