Abstract

We present a case of multiple large juxta-articular painless masses involving both the elbows and right hip in a 27-year old south Asian male who presented with ulnar neuropathy and constitutional symptoms. Radiology, blood investigations and biopsy confirmed it to be hyperphosphatemic tumoral calcinosis. Patient was also diagnosed with an extremely rare association, testicular microlithiasis. Complete surgical excision with low phosphate diet resulted in complete neurological recovery and no recurrence at 30 months. Tumoral calcinosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a case with multiple, symptomatic juxta-articular masses.
