Abstract

The subepidermal calcified nodule (SNC), included under the idiopathic cutaneous calcifications, is an infrequent cutaneous process. We report a new case localized on the chin of an 18 month old child. We review the concept gathered from previous literature and we post the possible role which the mast cell may play in the genesis of the said deposits.

Calcific myonecrosis and tenosynovitis: sonographic findings with correlative imaging.

We report the sonographic appearance of a case of calcific myonecrosis and tenosynovitis with correlative plain radiography and CT findings. Calcific myonecrosis is a rare complication of previous trauma that presents as a tumor-like calcified mass years after an initial injury, most commonly affecting the anterior compartment of the lower leg. Although the clinical, radiographic, and MRI features of calcific myonecrosis have been well described, to our knowledge the sonographic appearance has not been reported previously in the literature.
