TI  - Dystrophic calcinosis cutis in subacute lupus.
PG  - 90-2
AB  - Dystrophic calcinosis cutis is known to be associated with various connective 
      tissue disorders but to the best of our knowledge has never been reported in 
      subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE), a distinctive cutaneous subset in 
      the spectrum of lupus erythematosus. It occurs without calcium and phosphorus 
      metabolic abnormalities and may be localized or generalized. We report a patient 
      with SCLE who developed calcinosis cutis and had normal serum calcium and 
      phosphorus levels and, interestingly, a normal concentration of blood ionized 
      calcium. This latter, which represents the active form in the total amount of 
      blood calcium, is a parameter only rarely assessed in patients with dystrophic 
      calcinosis cutis. Thus, other pathogenic factors should be investigated to 
      clarify the pathophysiology of the dystrophic type of calcification.
