A rare disorder: tumoral calcinosis and cirrhosis.
Tumoral calcinosis is a rare disease characterised by deposition of calcified mass near the joints. The pathogenesis of this disease is not exactly defined. A disorder of calcium and inorganic phosphate metabolism may play a role. Here, we report a case of 19-year-old girl who had both cryptogenic cirrhosis and idiopathic tumoral calcinosis. To our knowledge, there is few report of such concurrence.
