title: Tumoral calcinosis with unusual dental radiographic findings.
abstract: Tumor calcinosis is a rare disease of unknown cause, manifesting itself as abnormal calcifications of cystic masses in the fibrous tissues adjacent to, but not involving, the joint spaces. A family with multiple siblings affected by tumoral calcinosis and found to have unusual dental radiographic findings consistent with varying degrees of expression of dentinal dysplasia is described.
