Calcinosis cutis in a pediatric patient with Burkitt's lymphoma.
Calcinosis cutis, an uncommon disorder characterized by hydroxyapatite crystals of calcium phosphate deposited in the skin, has been described infrequently in childhood. Cutaneous calcification may be divided into four major categories: dystrophic, metastatic, idiopathic, and iatrogenic. Here, we report an example of iatrogenic type with a 4-year-old boy who diagnosed with Burkitt's lymphoma, and developed calcinosis cutis secondary to a tumour lysis syndrome with induction chemotherapy.
