| description | Introduction:
Cutaneous calcinosis is a rare disease characterized by the precipitation of calcium crystals in the skin tissue. It can be localized, generalized, dystrophic, metastatic, iatrogenic, or idiopathic.
Case Report:
Female patient, 66 years old, victim of second and third-degree burns by fire in the lower abdomen and thighs at 8 years old, reaching 25% of the body surface. After 58 years, she was diagnosed with dystrophic calcinosis in the burn scar, which was confirmed through biopsy and histopathological analysis. She underwent surgical excision associated with rotation of the upper abdomen dermal-fat flap and total skin graft for scar correction.
Conclusion:
Although the best therapeutic choice is still unclear, treating complications leading to functional disability is essential to reduce morbidity and increase the patient’s quality of life. |
