Abstract
We report a 30-day-old baby with subcutaneous fat necrosis and symptomatic hypercalcemia, who developed metastatic
calcification in the subcutaneous tissue, kidneys, pericardium and brain. The baby also had anemia, hypertriglyceridemia
and hypercholesterolemia. He was managed with intravenous saline, furosemide, oral steroids and bisphosphonates and
improved with treatment.
