Idiopathic Calcinosis Cutis of the Hand.

Calcinosis cutis is a disease process characterized by calcified lesions in the skin. Although there are five subtypes of calcinosis, idiopathic calcinosis cutis is a rare disease process with no clear etiology. It has been described in many parts of the body; however, there are only five reported cases specifically involving the hands. We describe the presentation and successful treatment of a case of idiopathic calcinosis cutis in a 65-year-old man with lesions on his bilateral hands. We believe that surgical excision of symptomatic lesions is a safe and effective treatment for idiopathic calcinosis cutis of the hands.
