Abstract

Dystrophic calcification- a condition characterized by the formation of calcium salts in the cells, especially in the damaged tissues. It may be sometimes resembled a neoplastic condition such as tumor growth. We report a case of patient who presented with a swelling that is localized, suspected to be a tumor. Following surgical excision and histopathological examination, the lesion or swelling was diagnosed as dystrophic calcification. This case highlights the importance of histopathological analysis or biopsy for accurate and specific diagnosis.
