[Cutaneous calcinosis with transepithelial elimination in porphyria cutanea tarda. Chemico-structural characterization].
The Authors describe a case of porphyria cutanea tarda with subcutaneous calcinosis which sustains transepidermal elimination at certain points. The structural and chemical characterization of this material revealed a kind of apatite similar to that of depositions present in calcified human aorta wall and human mitral valve.
