title: Metastatic calciumphosphate deposition in the membranous nasal septum in end-stage renal disease.
abstract: Metastatic calciumphosphate depositions are a well known complication of end-stage renal disease. Numerous localisations for metastatic calcification have been described. A patient with a sub-acute swelling of the membranous nasal septum, caused by calciumphosphate depositions is presented. This is the first report of this particular localisation of metastatic calcification in end-stage renal disease.
