What Researchers Did
Researchers described the case of an eight-year-old girl who developed calcium deposits in her soft tissues and experienced Raynaud's phenomenon.
What They Found
At 3.5 years old, the patient received vasodilators and hyperbaric oxygen treatment for acrocyanosis, which led to improvement. By age eight, she developed painful hand cramps, calcifications on her fingers and toes, and a hard tumour on her right elbow. Pathological examination of the removed elbow tumour confirmed large calcium deposits.
