A painful lump on the buttock: a case report.

Nódulo doloroso en glúteo. A propósito de un caso. A painful lump on the buttock: a case report.

We present the clinical case of a patient with dystrophic cutaneous calcinosis of the buttock, a rare condition that is frequently underdiagnosed due to a lack of clinical suspicion.

It is vitally important that patients presenting with cutaneous calcifications undergo a detailed medical history and laboratory investigations, including renal function, calcium and phosphorus metabolism, and autoimmune testing, to rule out the presence of underlying conditions such as autoimmune or renal diseases.
