[Idiopathic skin calcinosis with transepithelial elimination].
A case of universal cutaneous calcinosis developed without apparent cause is reported. It had an evolution towards epidermic perforation and was treated with aluminium hydroxide. A discussion was made on the rarity of the idiopathic calcinosis as well as on the interesting phenomenon of transepidermal elimination.
