An Unusual Site of Calcinosis in Inflammatory Myositis

Abstract

Calcinosis is an uncommon condition characterized by abnormal accumulation of calcium crystals in the body. We describe a case of adult dermatomyositis with calcinosis in unusual locations like the face and submandibular region. We did a literature review of calcinosis in rheumatological disorders.
