| Popis: | Tumoral calcinosis is a rare, benign disease that commonly affects the African blacks. We report on a 20-year-old Nigerian presenting with recurrent multiple subcutaneous masses around the scapular, elbow, hip and gluteal regions. The X-rays, fine needle aspiration cytology and tissue biopsy confirmed the diagnosis and the patient had a successful excision with good healing. |
