Abstract
We describe two cases of iatrogenic subcutis calcinosis after injections of calcium-containing heparins, including the second case of poor outcome. Clinicians should be aware of this adverse effect since other heparins such as fondaparinux or low-weight molecular heparins are contraindicated in patients with renal failure, leading to a large prescription of calcium-containing heparins in this population.
