Tumoral calcinosis of the triangular fibrocartilage complex: a case report.
A case of calcium hydroxyapatite deposition in the triangular fibrocartilage of the wrist is presented. The deposit took the more unusual form of a tumor, posing diagnostic difficulties. Magnetic resonance imaging was helpful in delineating the lesion, but could not identify its nature. Surgical excision resulted in resolution of symptoms.
