Tumoral calcinosis.
The authors present a case of tumoral calcinosis, a rare form of calcinosis due to the formation of "calcium tumours" in the vicinity of serous bursae. They discuss the clinical, anatomical and pathological features of the three principal forms of calcinosis, including the theories of pathogenesis. In the rare tumoral form the treatment is always radical excision.
