The subepidermal calcified nodule (SNC), included under the idiopathic cutaneous calcifications, is an infrequent cutaneous process. We report a new case localized on the chin of an 18 month old child. We review the concept gathered from previous literature and we post the possible role which the mast cell may play in the genesis of the said deposits.
