Scope note: Depósito patológico de calcio en la piel y el tejido subcutáneo. La calcificación excesiva de la piel puede estar asociada a enfermedades subyacentes que causan lesión tisular (p. ej., SÍNDROME DE EHLERS-DANLOS, SEUDOXANTOMA ELÁSTICO, SÍNDROME DE ROTHMUND-THOMSON y SÍNDROME DE WERNER) o que causan un metabolismo anormal del calcio y del fosfato (p. ej., CALCIFILAXIA, INSUFICIENCIA RENAL CRÓNICA, HIPERPARATIROIDISMO y SARCOIDOSIS).

Scope note: Pathological deposition of calcium in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Excessive calcification of the skin may be associated with underlying diseases that cause tissue damage (e.g., EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME; PSEUDOXANTHOMA ELASTICUM; ROTHMUND-THOMSON SYNDROME; and WERNER SYNDROME) or that cause abnormal calcium and phosphate metabolism (e.g., CALCIPHYLAXIS; CHRONIC KIDNEY FAILURE; HYPERPARATHYROIDISM; and SARCOIDOSIS).
