The history and imaging studies are most consistent with tumoral calcinosis. Tumoral calcinosis is a relatively rare disorder of uncertain etiology most commonly seen in people of African descent and females. Metabolic defects, collagen vascular disorders, and trauma have been associated with the development of these lesions. Lesions grow slowly and rarely cause pain. The histologic appearance is characterized by loculated calcific debris surrounded by a fibrous stroma. Surgical removal is the treatment of choice for symptomatic lesions and incomplete removal is associated with recurrence. The review by Martinez discusses the new recognition and understanding of this disease as described above.
