# Calcinosis Cutis in a Seven-Year-Old Male With Hepatic Focal Nodular Hyperplasia and Congenital Partial Venous Drainage

## TL;DR

A seven-year-old boy with liver and vein abnormalities developed skin calcium deposits, emphasizing the need for thorough evaluation in similar cases.

## Contribution

This case report highlights calcinosis cutis as a dermatologic manifestation linked to hepatic and venous anomalies in children.

## Key findings

- A seven-year-old male with hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia and venous drainage anomaly developed calcinosis cutis.
- The skin lesions were widespread, non-tender, and skin-colored, appearing over two years.
- The case underscores the importance of multidisciplinary management for children with systemic abnormalities.

## Abstract

Calcinosis cutis, defined as the deposition of insoluble calcium salts in the skin and subcutaneous tissue, is an uncommon condition in pediatric populations. It may arise from various underlying causes, including metabolic, inflammatory, or structural anomalies, and is classified into several subtypes, each requiring a distinct approach to diagnosis and management. We present the case of a seven-year-old Indian male with a history of massive hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia and a congenital partial venous drainage anomaly, who developed widespread, firm, non-tender, skin-colored nodules over a two-year period. The lesions were distributed across multiple areas, including behind the ears, neck, trunk, inguinal region, and extremities. This case highlights the importance of recognizing calcinosis cutis as a potential dermatologic manifestation in children with underlying systemic abnormalities and the need for individualized evaluation and multidisciplinary management.
