Tumoral Calcinosis Around the Elbow: A Case Report
Tumoral calcinosis is a rare ectopic calcification seen around large joints. Large joints are seen in the hip, shoulder and elbow, and less frequently in the foot and ankle. It is unclear why the first two decades of life are caused by familial predisposing aphakia, as well as being seen more frequently. We presented Magnetic Resonance Imaging findings of the patient who presented with tumoral calcinosis elbow pain clinic. Tumoral calcinosis should be kept in mind in differential diagnosis when a mass with soft tissue periarticular calcification is seen in the vicinity of large joints.
