[Tumorous calcinosis (Teutschländer disease)].
A case report on tumoral calcinosis (Teutschländer disease), a comparatively rare clinical entity, is presented. The localization of these painful, mostly periarticular soft tissue calcifications as well as their aetiology in connection with chronic renal failure, longstanding hemodialysis or secondary hyperparathyroidism are stressed. The surgical approach as the primary therapeutic option is compared with the more traditional conservative management.
