title: Calciphylaxis associated with rheumatoid arthritis: Communication of another case.
abstract: Calciphylaxis has been defined as tissue sensitivity to calcification, described mainly in patients with chronic renal insufficiency, renal transplant, or parathyroid dysfunction. There are few cases described in patients with rheumatoid arthritis that do not suffer from renal failure or hyperparathyroidism. Another case is presented of calciphylaxis in a woman with inactive rheumatoid arthritis.
