Introduction: Tumoral calcinosis is a rare hereditary condition characterized by the deposition of calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite in periarticular soft tissues. First described by Giard and Duret in 1898 and later detailed by Inclan in 1943, this condition has often been confused with other forms of periarticular calcification. Tumoral calcinosis predominantly affects young males and is typically found around major joints, such as the shoulder, elbow, hip, ankle, and wrist.

  • Diabetic Charcot neuroarthropathy (DCN) is a rare but serious complication of diabetes, particularly affecting those with diabetic neuropathy, where the incidence rises to 30%, especially among type 1 diabetics.
  • It typically presents as a painless, swollen, and warm foot or ankle, with MRI and X-ray revealing specific joint abnormalities, often in a particular order.
  • Treatment primarily involves prolonged immobilization and offloading, with potential but unproven therapeutic options; there's a high risk of amputation and increased mortality, especially when foot ulcers are present, necessitating surgical intervention to prevent recurrence.
