Abstract
- We report a case of calcinosis cutis in a 41-year-old man developing after liver transplantation at sites where no intravenous calcium had been administered. The cutaneous lesions developed on his right upper arm 10-days post-transplantation. The patient had received calcium chloride solution intravenously after surgery. We excluded other causes of ectopic calcification such as hyperparathyroidism, renal failure, and extravasation of calcium chloride.
