Calcinosis cutis, X-ray

Calcinosis cutis refers to calcium deposition in the skin and soft tissues. It presents with subcutaneous white or pink nodules, often in the upper extremities. It is the first component of CREST syndrome, which includes Calcinosis cutis, Raynauds phenomenon, Esophageal dysmotility, Sclerodactyly and Telangiectasias. CREST syndrome is a type of systemic scleroderma where anti-centromere antibodies result in systemic inflammatory autoimmune connective tissue pathology.
