A rare case report of tumoral calcinosis syndrome in an adult with rheumatoid arthritis. Clin Cases Miner Bone Metab. 2015 Jan-Apr;12(1):62-4 Authors: Patel H, Shaaban H, Benn H Abstract Tumoral calcinosis is a rare benign disease entity that mimics a neoplasm and is manifested by calcium deposition in the soft tissues around the large joints. It can be primary or secondary to renal failure and hyperparathyroidism. This is, to our knowledge, the first reported case of tumoral calcinosis in a Hispanic male with rheumatoid arthritis.
