| Popis: | Pathologic calcification occurs in up to 40% of children with juvenile dermatomyositis and can develop within several months even in successfully treated patients. Other differential diagnoses of calcinosis cutis in children are rare. There is no generally accepted standard treatment of calcinosis. We report on a 2-year-old previously healthy girl, the 2nd child of non-consanguineous healthy parents from Kosovo, who presented with a 7-month history of progressive calcinosis cutis primarily affecting both legs. The girl had no other signs or symptoms of juvenile dermatomyositis or other autoimmune diseases. |
