Résumé
Subepidermal calcified nodule (SCN) is a clinical form of idiopathic calcinosis cutis, which commonly affects children, and presents as yellowish-white lesions involving the face. It is often misdiagnosed for other disorders like warts and molluscum contagiosum and treated by ablative procedures. In such a scenario, lack of histopathological examination makes it difficult to reach the correct diagnosis. We here report a case of SCN which was diagnosed after an excisional biopsy. Further, histopathological finding of dermal calcium deposits must prompt the clinician to rule out other disorders leading to calcinosis cutis, before labelling the case as SCN.
