Surgical Management of Tumoral Calcinosis of the Hand: A Case Report

Primary tumoral calcinosis is a rare and benign condition characterized by calcium salt deposition in periarticular soft tissues. It typically presents as a firm, rubbery mass that arises around large joints. While an estimated 250 cases have been described since its discovery, very few cases have been identified in the hand. We present a case of multiple calcified masses in the hand, one of which required meticulous dissection from a digital neurovascular bundle, and our technique for surgical excision. We present this case to lower the threshold for clinical suspicion of tumoral calcinosis for patients who present with a soft tissue mass in the hand. Furthermore, we recommend prompt surgical excision due to low success rates of alternative treatment options and to prevent potential neurovasculature or tendon injury.
