Article Abstract
Calcium gluconate solutions are an essential part of the intensive care medication armamentarium. Calcium-related extravasations are not an infrequent occurrence. However, occult extravasation presenting solely as an isolated mass lesion with no preceding cutaneous manifestation is rare. Calcinosis cutis is an extraosseous collection of calcium deposits in the skin and subcutaneous tissues. Multiple etiopathogenetic factors play a role in its manifestations. We illustrate a case of a seven-week-old infant diagnosed with pseudo-hypoaldosteronism with a mysterious swelling on the left leg during the third week of hospitalization, which was attributed to occult iatrogenic calcinosis cutis.

Unlabelled: Calcinosis cutis is a condition in which calcium-phosphate salt deposits are formed in cutaneous and subcutaneous tissue. A subtype, metastatic calcinosis cutis, can occur in patients with disorders that cause hypercalcemia or hyperphosphatemia such as end stage renal disease. We present a case of a 67-year-old man with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis who presented to the emergency department with a draining left elbow wound.

Trisomy 18 is the second most common autosomal trisomy, associated with high mortality, with only 5-10% of affected individuals surviving beyond the first year of life. Consequently, comorbidities in long-term survivors are rarely reported. We describe the case of a 6-year-old East Asian girl with trisomy 18 who presented with calcinosis cutis.
