Calcinosis cutis is a challenging, debilitating condition that often is observed in patients with systemic sclerosis or dermatomyositis. However, it is rarely documented in cases of Sjögren syndrome, with only 6 previous cases reported in the medical literature. In this article, we report the case of a 56-year-old woman with a known diagnosis of Sjögren syndrome who presented with calcinosis cutis of the digits.
