Soft tissue calcification in children with terminal transverse defects of the upper limb--is it tumoral calcinosis?
We report five children with transverse defects of the upper limb who developed calcified deposits at the distal end of the limb. The lesions were excised from two children and had the typical histological appearance of tumoral calcinosis but on clinical grounds it is unlikely that this is the same condition as that previously described as tumoral calcinosis.
