Calcinosis Cutis in a Neonate.

Calcinosis Cutis corresponds to deposition of calcium salts in skin. It most commonly occurs in adults who have connective tissue disorders. It is rarely seen in neonates. We describe a case in which a neonate with leg swelling presented and imaging showed calcium deposits underneath the skin. Calcium gluconate is frequently used in the neonatal age group to correct hypocalcemia which if extravasated can lead to calcinosis cutis. Treatment is mostly supportive but excluding other potential causes, especially infection, is essential. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
