Tumoral calcinosis is a rare disorder defined as the development of periarticular calcified masses, typically surrounding large joints, although they may occur in the foot. We present a case of a patient with systemic tumoral calcinosis with lesions in both shoulders and wrists and a relatively large lesion in the right foot presenting with foot pain.
