[Tumoral calcinosis of the foot in patient on hemodialysis].

We report a new case of tumoral calcinosis in a renal failure patient. In this patient the pseudotumoral formation was found in an unusual localization on the medial border of the foot. The condition progressed with successive development of bilateral tumors and septic contamination. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis. The patient was successfully treated with tumor resection and renal graft. The origin of these pseudotumors remains a question of debate. Several pathogenc mechanisms have been put forward. Pronosis is always favorable. Several authors have suggested a phosphorus calcium work-up can be useful for classifying these tumors, guiding surgical treatment if required and managing the underlying cause.
