Tumoral calcinosis of the foot: case report and literature review.
Soft tissue tumors occur in all parts of the body. Once identified, they must be thoroughly evaluated and treated. Tumoral calcinosis is a metabolic disorder that presents as a soft tissue deposit near large joints in the body. Occasionally, it may occur in the foot and become symptomatic. Once the etiology and pathophysiology is understood, the proper course of treatment may begin.
