Calcinosis Circumscripta of the Hand in Scleroderma

JAMES D. SCHLENKER M.D.1, DAVID DICK CLARK M.D.1, and ELDEN C. WECKESSER M.D.1

1 From the Hand Clinic of the Department of Surgery, University Hospitals, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland

In a series of sixty-five patients with scleroderma, eleven had calcinosis circumscripta. Four other patients in the series had calcifications in the soft tissues elsewhere than in the hand. Nine of the eleven patients were women. The diagnosis of calcinosis in the hands was made on the average of seventeen years after the onset of Raynaud's phenomenon. In only two of the patients was surgical excision of the calcifications performed.
