    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.

    Abstract A 57 year old man with nail-patella syndrome (NPS) and associated renal disease is described who developed an inflammatory polyarthropathy and polyarteritis-like vasculitis. Vasculitis and serum complement abnormalities have not previously been reported in NPS. NPS is a rare autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder affecting both mesenchymal and ectodermal tissue. The condition is reviewed with particular reference to its renal pathology, including the distinctive electron microscopic (EM) finding of collagen deposition in the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). The possibility of the underlying collagen abnormality acting as a trigger for immune-inflammatory changes is discussed.
