title: Idiopathic periscapular tumoral calcinosis mimicking and presenting as extraskeletal chondromatous tumor.
abstract: Tumoral calcinosis is a rare, benign condition of extra-osseous calcification. The term tumoral calcinosis has been liberally and imprecisely used to describe any massive collection of periarticular calcification.It is important to diagnose and differentiate it from other similar conditions causing extra-osseous calcification. The authors report here one such case having tumoral calcinosis around scapula mimicking as chondromatous tumor.
