[Posttransplant regression of uremic tumoral calcinosis].
Uremic tumoral calcinosis is the massive calcium-phosphate deposits in periarticular tissues, usually around large joints. It has been described between 1-7% hemodialysis patients and although its etiopathogenesis is unknown, it is associated to severe hyperparathyroidism, elevation of the serum calcium-phosphorus product or hiperphosphataemia. We describe the case of tumoral calcinosis in the shoulder due to hiperphosphataemia and elevated calcium-phosphorus product, treated with low calcium intensive dialysis and fast relapse that disappears after renal transplantation.
