title: Calciphylaxis associated with rheumatoid arthritis: communication of the second case.
abstract: Calciphylaxis is the tissue sensitivity to calcification, described mainly in patients with chronic renal insufficiency, renal transplant of parathyroid dysfunction. There is only one case described in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis, without renal dysfunction, nor hyperparathyroidism. We present the second case in a woman with inactive rheumatoid arthritis.
