Abstract
- Soft tissue calcifications associated with various connective tissue diseases such as dermatomyositis and scleroderma have been well documented Plaque-like sheets of subcutaneous calcifications presenting as an indurated soft tissue mass in a patient with primary Sjogren syndrome have been rarely documented in the literature. We present the magnetic resonance and conventional radiographic findings of calcinosis cutis and calcinosis circumscripta of a 47-year-old woman with biopsy proven Sjogren syndrome. We also delineate various types of soft tissue calcification, histopathology of calcinosis cutis, and current treatment options. Recognizing the magnetic resonance characteristics of this phenomenon may prove useful to radiologists, especially in the absence of clinical history and conventional radiographs.<br />Competing Interests: The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.<br /> (© 2020 The Authors.)
