[Metastatic calcification in forearm simulating bone tumor in a patient in hemodialysis].
We report a patient treated with periodic hemodialysis, who suffered the appearance of a mass in the forearm with compression of flexor muscles, median nerve and arteriovenous fistula. X-ray examination revealed a calcified and multiloculated mass which displace forearm vessels. We discuss the physiopathology, differential diagnosis and surgical treatment of the process.
