  2. Calcinosis cutis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcinosis_cutis

    Metastatic calcinosis cutis is the consequence of calcium salts precipitating in normal tissue due to an underlying abnormality in the metabolism of phosphate and/or calcium. [2] Metastatic calcification can result from any systemic condition raising serum calcium and/or phosphate levels. Chronic renal failure is the most frequent underlying ...

  3. Calcific tendinitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcific_tendinitis

    Calcific tendinitis is a common condition where deposits of calcium phosphate form in a tendon, sometimes causing pain at the affected site. Deposits can occur in several places in the body, but are by far most common in the rotator cuff of the shoulder.

  4. Calcification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcification

    Calcification is the accumulation of calcium salts in a body tissue. It normally occurs in the formation of bone, but calcium can be deposited abnormally in soft tissue, [1] [2] causing it to harden. Calcifications may be classified on whether there is mineral balance or not, and the location of the calcification. [3]

  5. Calcinosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcinosis

    Calcinosis is the formation of calcium deposits in any soft tissue. [1] It is a rare condition that has many different causes. These range from infection and injury to systemic diseases like kidney failure .

  6. Tumoral calcinosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumoral_calcinosis

    Tumoral calcinosis is a rare condition in which there is calcium deposition in the soft tissue in periarticular location, around joints, outside the joint capsule. [1] They are frequently (0.5–3%) seen in patients undergoing renal dialysis.

  7. Dystrophic calcification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dystrophic_calcification

    In dystrophic calcification, basophilic calcium salt deposits aggregate, first in the mitochondria, then progressively throughout the cell. [citation needed] These calcifications are an indication of previous microscopic cell injury, occurring in areas of cell necrosis when activated phosphatases bind calcium ions to phospholipids in the membrane.

  9. Ectopic calcification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectopic_calcification

    Ectopic calcification is a pathologic deposition of calcium salts in tissues or bone growth in soft tissues.This can be a symptom of hyperphosphatemia.Formation of osseous tissue in soft tissues such as the lungs, eyes, arteries, or other organs is known as ectopic calcification, dystrophic calcification, or ectopic ossification.
