| Diagnosis: | CREST SYNDROME / SCLERODERMA | Category: | lumps & bumps (plaques, nodules, tumors) / collagen vascular disease | ||
| Body Site: | thumb / finger | Age: | 60 years | ||
| Contributor: | Nikolaos Sferopoulos, MD | ||||
| Description: | tender 1 cm nodule with central white chalky papule | ||||
| Comments: | A 60-year-old woman was referred for a painful lesion of the tip of her right thumb. Radiographs indicated diffuse sclerotic lesions in the soft tissues of the distal phalanx of her thumb. She reported an over 15-year-history of Raynaud phenomenon and positive antinuclear antibody titer. The lesion was surgically debrided under local anaesthesia but the borders could not be identified. Biopsy showed localized calcinosis cutis. The patient was referred to rheumatology where the diagnosis of Crest syndrome was made. Two weeks later the sutures were removed, and the scar was ruptured because of residual calcinosis in the soft tissues. By that time the borders of the lesions were easily identified and removed. No residual clinical lesion was evident 2 months post operatively despite radiographic evidence of persistent calcinosis. | ||||

| Description: | multiple 2-10 cm circumscribed round to oval hypopigmented indurated plaques with a lilac border and overlying atrophy and fine scale | ||||
| Comments: | A 6-year-old boy was evaluated for multiple circumscribed, indurated plaques surrounded by a zone of violaceous color (lilac ring). They were localized to his back, ombilical area, hip, and abdomen. The diagnosis of morphea (or localized sclerodermi) was confirmed by a biopsy. | ||||

| Diagnosis: | CALCINOSIS CUTIS / SCLERODERMA | Category: | collagen vascular disease / cutaneous sign of systemic disease | ||
| Body Site: | face / cheek cheek | Age: | 48 years | ||
| Contributor: | António Matos da Fonseca, MD | ||||
| Description: | Middle-age woman with a history of diffuse scleroderma for more than 15 years. The patient develops lipoatrophy of the face and multiple calcified subepidermal nodules on the left masseteric region and a large ulceration with secondary infection and exposure of a piece of a homogeneous solid calcic substance. A correcting surgery for removal of the nodules and skin plasty was performed. Histopathologic exam demonstrates multiple calcium deposition in the dermis with a surrounding foreign body giant cell reaction. | ||||
| Comments: | This 48-year-old woman with a history of diffuse scleroderma for more than 15 years developed lipoatrophy of the face and multiple calcified subepidermal nodules over the left masseter. A large ulceration subsequently occurred on the left side of the face exposing rock hard chalky material. The nodules were excised and the defect was repaired. Histopathologic exam demonstrated multiple calcium nodules in the dermis with a surrounding foreign body giant cell reaction. | ||||
