title: Tumoral calcinosis revisited--common and uncommon features. Report of ten cases and review.
abstract: Familial cutaneous and subcutaneous tumoral calcifications are a recognized entity of unknown pathogenesis. The course of calcinosis and various treatments are discussed and the literature concerning the aetiology is reviewed. Our ten cases provided some experience in dealing with tumoral calcinosis and demonstrated, in addition, some clinical phenomena unrecognized previously, such as involvement of the mucous membranes and an erythematous rash preceding the development of calcified nodules.
