Calciphylaxis is a rare disease characterized by calcification of the middle layer of small arteries and arterioles, causing secondary cuta-neous ischemia. The diagnosis is clinical but may be confirmed by histological examination. The optimal treatment is not exactly known, although there is consensus that a multifactorial approach is required. This report is regarding the case of a female patient with a kidney transplant requiring peritoneal dialysis, in the late postoperative period of partial parathyroidectomy due to severe hyperparathyroidism, with refractory hypocalcemia and severe calciphylaxis, subsequently treated with intralesional sodium thiosulfate due to initial intoler-ance to intravenous thiosulfate treatment.
