title: Idiopathic tumoral calcinosis of the index finger. Case report.
abstract: Tumoral calcinosis of the hand is rare, and we present a case report of idiopathic tumoral calcinosis of the index finger, which posed a diagnostic problem as it looked like an infection. We successfully removed the calcific deposit and there had been no recurrence one year after the operation.
