Treatment of iatrogenic calcinosis cutis in neonates with topical steroids

Abstract

Calcinosis cutis, the deposition of calcium salts in the dermis, can be dystrophic, metastatic, iatrogenic, or idiopathic. Calcinosis cutis occurs through a variety of pathogenetic mechanisms. Here, we described a case of iatrogenic calcinosis cutis secondary to extravasation of an intravenous calcium-containing solution in a newborn, with topical steroid treatment. Topical steroid treatment decreased convalescence period clinically and radiologically in this disease with no current specific therapy.
