Abstract

Calcinosis universalis (CU) is a known complication of dermatomyositis manifesting as calcified nodules and plaques localized in subcutaneous tissue, fascial planes, tendons, or intramuscular regions. We report a case and image of CU in a 9-year-old boy diagnosed with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM).
