title: Sodium thiosulfate treatment of tumoral calcinosis in patients with end-stage renal disease.
abstract: Three patients (2 male and 1 female) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis for more than 4 years with tumoral calcifications were treated by sodium thiosulfate. All patients had periarticular and soft tissue calcification. A considerable regression of calcified masses with concurrent clinical improvement was noted in 2 of the 3 patients.
