Abstract

Dermatomyositis (DM) is an immune-mediated myopathy characterized by proximal skeletal muscle weakness, muscle inflammation, and distinct skin manifestations. Calcinosis cutis, involving the deposition of insoluble calcium salts in the soft tissues, affects approximately 8% of DM patients1 and poses significant treatment challenges. It can complicate with inflammation, ulceration, pain, and local and systemic infections, resulting in considerable morbidity. We present the case of a 69-year-old-woman with dermatomyositis who developed an exuberant form of calcinosis cutis.

坚硬如石:角质钙化症的一种表现形式。
皮肌炎(Dermatomyositis,DM)是一种免疫介导的肌病,其特征是近端骨骼肌无力、肌肉炎症和明显的皮肤表现。皮肤钙化症涉及软组织中不溶性钙盐的沉积,约有8%的皮肌炎患者会受到影响1 ,给治疗带来了巨大挑战。它可并发炎症、溃疡、疼痛以及局部和全身感染,导致相当高的发病率。我们为您介绍一例患有皮肌炎的 69 岁女性患者,她患上了大量的皮肤钙化症。
