title: [Peritendinitis calcarea of the hand, a case report].
abstract: The authors present three cases of peritendinitis calcarea in the extensor tendons of the wrist and the flexor tendons of the fingers. The symptoms were gout-like pain attacks and local inflammation. In the X-rays calcification was seen within the tendon sheath. The symptoms and the calcification disappeared spontaneously in a few months. In these rare cases there is no indication for surgery.
