Calcinosis cutis is a calcium deposition disorder of the skin that is classically divided into 4 categories including dystrophic, metastatic, iatrogenic, and idiopathic.1,2 Dystrophic calcification develops after localized tissue damage with normal serum calcium and phosphorus levels, whereas metastatic calcification precipitates in tissues from systemic calcium/phosphorus metabolic dysfunction with increased serum calcium levels. Iatrogenic calcification follows local transcutaneous therapy such as intravenous infusion of calcium chloride, calcium gluconate, or other products.
