Abstract | Tumoral calcinosis (TC) is an uncommon disorder characterized by large calcific soft tissue deposits, usually adjacent to large joints. In the past, the etiology was unclear, but recently, TC has been considered to be an inherited metabolic disorder, characterized by elevated serum phosphorus and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels, normocalcemia, and calcific deposits. However, these features have been shown to vary widely, with formes frustes of TC now being recognized. We report an unusual case of TC, which presented as an adhesive capsulitis, in an elderly North American black woman. The patient's nationality, late age of presentation, and multiple sites of involvement are uncommon features of TC. The clinicopathologic features and possible etiologies of this rare condition are briefly reviewed. |
