Rosmaninho, A.Carvalho, S.Lobo, I.2016-07-262016-07-262015J Dermatol Case Rep. 2015;9(4):120-11898-7249http://hdl.handle.net/10400.16/1981Calcinosis cutis is a rare condition characterized by the deposition of insoluble calcium salts in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Dystrophic calcinosis cutis appears as a result of local tissue damage or abnormalities, such as alterations in extra-cellular matrix proteins or subcutaneous tissue with normal calcium and phosphate serum levels. It has been rarely described as a late complication of burns. Latency periods of 15-54 years have been reported. We describe the case of a 57-year-old man with dystrophic calcinosis cutis in a burn scar, which developed 42 years after the skin injury. The condition was successfully treated with surgical excision.porc a l c i f i c a t i o nh i s t o p a t h o l o g ys u r g e r yu l c e rjournal article10.3315/jdcr.2015.1219
