Abstract
We report a case of dystrophic calcification presenting as soft
cystic swelling in a patient with juvenile dermatomyositis. A
15-year-old boy with lumbosacral cystic swelling, which was
considered a cold abscess clinically, was evaluated for nonresponse
to antitubercular therapy. The cystic swelling had
liquefied calcium with a well circumscribed calcified wall on
imaging, which was subsequently excised.
