- Abstract
Tumoral calcinosis is a rare familial disorder characterized by tumour like masses of calcification, usually in the soft tissues around large joints (para-articular). Masses of calcification sometimes cause gross deformity and disabilities requiring extensive surgical intervention. Involvement of distal joints like that of hand and feet is extremely rare. We present a series of 4 cases of tumoral calcinosis, two of them with unusual presentation involving great toe and thumb.
