Zusammenfassung: | Calcinosis cutis is a rare and morbid disorder defined by calcium deposition in the cutaneous and subcutaneous layers of the skin. When associated with immune-mediated connective tissue diseases, it is classified as dystrophic calcinosis cutis, presenting with local tissue damage and normal serum calcium metabolism. It is commonly described in systemic sclerosis and dermatomyositis but rarely in association with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It usually develops in women with longstanding systemic disease and Its pathophysiological mechanism is poorly understood. Characteristically, the lesions occur on the buttocks and extremities, with hardened nodules, varying in size, which may ulcerate and release white and calcareous materials with subsequent inflammation and pain. Usually it's an incidental finding, since it is often asymptomatic. Along with a compatible clinical picture, X-rays are a useful supplementary examination. Currently, there is no effective treatment available, making its therapy a constant challenge. Keywords: Case report; systemic lupus erythematosus; dystrophic calcinosis cutis. A calcinose cutanea e uma desordem rara e morbida definida pela deposicao de calcio nas camadas cutaneas e subcutaneas da pele. Quando associada a doencas do tecido conjuntivo mediadas pelo sistema imunologico, e classificada como calcinose cutanea distrofica, apresentando danos locais nos tecidos e metabolismo normal do calcio serico. E comumente descrita na esclerose sistemica e na dermatomiosite, mas raramente em associacao com o lupus eritematoso sistemico (LES). Geralmente desenvolve-se em mulheres com doenca sistemica de longa data e seu mecanismo fisiopatologico e pouco compreendido. Caracteristicamente, as lesoes ocorrem nas nadegas e extremidades, com nodulos endurecidos, de tamanhos variados, que podem ulcerar e liberar materiais brancos e calcarios com subsequente inflamacao e dor. Geralmente e um achado incidental, pois frequentemente e assintomatica. Juntamente com um quadro clinico compativel, os raios-X sao um exame suplementar util. Atualmente, nao ha tratamento eficaz disponivel, tornando a terapia um desafio constante. Palavras-chave: Relato de caso; lupus eritematoso sistemico; calcinose cutanea distrofica.
