Tumoral Calcinosis over Right Subscapular Region in CT: Case Report

Tumoral calcinosis is an uncommon disorder causing single or multiple circumscribed calcified masses in periarticular connective tissue. Lesions are common around hip, elbow and shoulder joints. Right subscapular region is a relative uncommon location for tumoral calcinosis. Here we report a case of chronic renal failure under hemodialysis for 10 years. The patient complained a growing mass at his back for 3 years. Chest plain film and CT were performed and a large calcified mass was found at right subscapular region. Successful surgical resection confirmed the diagnosis of tumoral calcinosis and there was no recurrence during a 1-year follow-up period.
