[Teutschlaender lipo-calcino-granulomatosis or tumoral calcinosis of Inclan (author's transl)]. 1977

H Barrière, and J Welin, and Y Lenne, and J Visset, and P Vigier

The present report describes a typical case of tumoral calcinosis. Differential diagnosis was initially directed towards sarcoma suggested by fibrous connective tissue surrounding cystlike cavities. The course of this disease led to chronic multiple fistulae with secondary infection in spite of two attempts of surgical excision. This case adds further support to the results of earlier reports showing no specific biological abnormalities. The present sutyd indicates otherwise that tumoral calcinosis and lipo-calcino-granulomatosis of Teutschlaender are the same condition. The pathogenesis of this affection remains enigmatic; there is no evidence that the lipidic excess should be the beginning of the process, but this disease must be considered as a distinctive form of calcinosis. The surgical exeresis is the only possible treatment, even if it doesn't prevent recurrence.
