Nodular cortical nephrocalcinosis: a benign and hitherto undescribed form of renal calcification.
Two unrelated adult patients were discovered by chance to have a diffuse form of renal cortical nephrocalcinosis, consisting of small nodules of radiologically visible calcification, most marked immediately under the renal capsule. The condition is not associated with urinary abnormalities or renal impairment, and appears to have an excellent prognosis.
