Iatrogenic Calcinosis Cutis in the Pediatric Patient: Case Report and Literature Review.

Calcinosis cutis is the term used to describe the deposition of calcium compounds within the skin and subcutaneous tissue, which can occur after the administration of intravenous calcium compounds. Its etiology is broad, and the clinical presentation is variable, creating a diagnostic challenge. Although iatrogenic calcinosis cutis is extremely uncommon, awareness and early diagnosis of this entity can reduce the risks of severe complications, including soft tissue damage, restricted joint mobility, and even nerve compression.
