Tumoral calcinosis is a rare disorder of mineral metabolism among adolescents and young adults characterized by deposition of calcific masses around large joints. It is less commonly reported in pediatric population and commonly mistaken for bone tumors. Typical lab parameters include hyperphosphatemia with normal levels of serum calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and alkaline phosphatase. A ten-year-old boy with typical features of tumoral calcinosis is presented.
