title: Tumoral calcinosis in both index fingers: a case report.
abstract: Tumoral calcinosis is an uncommon disease of unknown aetiology that usually involves the periarticular tissues of large joints. We report a rare case in which it presented in both index fingers in a 5-year-old boy. The tumours were resected and he made an uncomplicated recovery except for mild tapering deformity on the left. There has been no sign of recurrence a year later.
