A poorly circumscribed, subcutaneous mass present on the dorsum of a young mature, male domestic short-haired cat was diagnosed as calcinosis circumscripta. Histologically, the mass was composed of multiple, fragmented loculi with a crystalline, light red center surrounded by dense, amorphous, mineralized material A nodular mass present on the ventral surface of the tongue in a mature, castrated male domestic short-haired cat was diagnosed as calcinosis circumscripta. The cat died of end-stage renal disease. Histologically, the multilobulated mass was composed of acellular, fractured loculi separated by thin FELINE PRACTICE - DERMATOLOGY Two cases of calcinosis circumscripta are described. In both cats the lesion occurred in the dorsal thoracic region. One cat was treated by surgery. In the other case complete regression was seen after treatment with Vitamin C and a homeopathic preparation The aim of this study is to report a case of idiopathic calcinosis circumscripta in a short Brazilian hair feline who was attended at the Hospital Veterinário of the Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro and had lesions in whitish plaque in the flank region
Calcinosis circumscripta is reported in cats and dogs Deposition of calcium in areas other than bone or teeth is pathologic and termed either dystrophic, metastatic, idiopathic, or iatrogenic Dystrophic calcification: deposition of calcium salts within dead or degenerative tissue and is unrelated to calcium content of bloo Calcinosis circumscripta, also called tumoral calcinosis, is an idiopathic, clinically distinctive subgroup of calcinosis cutis characterized by tissue deposition of mineral calcium salts. This syndrome is uncommon in dogs and is very rare in cats. Lesions typically present as firm, well-circumscribed, tumor-like nodules in the subcutis Calcinosis circumscripta is deposition of calcium at bony prominences or in the footpads and mouth. It is usually a disease of large dog breeds and occurs before two years of age. Calcinosis cutis is induced by local skin damage in susceptible animals Calcinosis circumscripta, a more localized form of calcium deposition in the skin, can occur on pressure points such as the paws and elbows, at suture sites, and on the tongue, but has different underlying causes than calcinosis cutis Calcinosis circumscripta, and no abnormal (or nasty) cells present. She explained that young German Shepherds can be prone to this, but what surprised her was that the lump is not actually attached to the bone, and is in the deeper tissue layers, in a most unusual place
Tumoral calcinosis is a rare familial condition characterized by painless, periarticular masses. The term should be strictly used to refer to a disease caused by a hereditary metabolic dysfunction of phosphate regulation associated with massive periarticular calcinosis and should not be used to refer to soft-tissue calcification in general metastatic calcinosis associatedwith chronic renal failure, skin lesions have always been reported in the footpads (although calcinosis of the pads can also be observed in idiopathic calcinosis circumscripta), except for one case of metatarsal metastatic calcinosis in a dog.29-31 The distribution oflesionsinour casewasunusual,becauseo
In most cases, calcinosis circumscripta occurs in larger breed dogs. For example, the German shepherd is a well-known developer of this disease. Some dogs may develop the disease because of genetics, while others may develop calcinosis because of diet or environment Calcinosis circumscripta in dogs is when calcium deposits in the skin, usually at bony prominences or in the mouth or footpads. These calcium deposits have a cystic structure and are usually calcium carbonate or calcium phosphate
(2) calcinosis cutis: this is a lesion seen in spontaneously occurring or iatrogenic Cushing's disease. Granulomatous reaction is frequently seen. ii. lipids: xanthomas are seen in case of diabetes mellitus with hypertriglyceridemia in the dog and in the cat. Cases have been described in cats with hereditary hyperlipoproteinemia Radiographic examination indicated the presence of a large calcified epidural mass lying dorsally within the spinal canal at the atlantoaxial articulation. Following surgical removal of the mass, both dogs returned to complete normality in a few weeks. Histological examination confirmed the lesions as calcinosis circumscripta Calcinosis circumscripta (tumoral calcinosis, synovial osteochondromatosis) is a rare dermatosis of the horse. 6, 44 The cause and pathogenesis are unknown. Although prolonged and chronic trauma to localized areas has been suggested, the condition frequently occurs in young horses and usually in horses with no history of trauma Dermatologic diseases in small animal veterinary medicine comprise roughly 20% of a general practitioner's caseload. 1 The skin has many functions, including thermoregulation, camouflage, and protection, but one of its most interesting purposes is its function as a marker of internal disease. 2,3 While many skin and ear diseases of dogs and cats are allergic (eg, atopy, food allergy, flea.
Sterile nodular/granulomatous dermatoses are diseases in which the primary lesions or masses of tissue, are solid, elevated, and greater than one centimeter in diameter. These nodules are usually the result of an infiltration of inflammatory cells into the skin and be a reaction to interal or external stimuli Literature Review and Discussion. Calcinosis circumscripta or tumoral calcinosis is a syndrome of ectopic mineralization characterized by deposition of calcium salts (calcium phosphate crystals, including hydroxyapatite crystals) in soft tissues. 4 It has been reported in many species. 5-18 Other synonyms that have been used to indicate this condition include calcium gout, lipocalcinosis. The lesions in one cat with renal surgery at the site of lesion occurrence. hyperparathyroidism recurred after surgical resection but This study reviews 77 cases of calcinosis circumscripta responded to dietary phosphorus restriction (Jackson and describing several relationships to signalment, affected sites, Barber, 1998)
Calcinosis circumscripta has occasionally been seen following surgical procedures, use of polydioxanone suture material, and progestin (medroxyprogesterone acetate) injections in dogs and cats [15-19]. Calcinosis circumscripta-like lesions have also been reported in dogs associated with the use of choke chains [20 Calcinosis Circumscripta (CC) is an uncommon disorder characterized by calcium deposits in soft tissue. It occurs rarely in dogs and cats, especially in oral cavity. Prompt diagnosis is essential as this condition is surgically curable. This case report describes the diagnosis and management of lingual CC in a Rottweiler dog Calcinosis circumscripta has not previously been reported in a cheetah, hence necessitating the publication of this article.P E E R R E V I E W A B S T R A C T K E Y W O R D S Case reportA growth on the skin, covering the upper left hind leg of a male cheetah was reported during routine deworming of captive cheetahs

Clinically, calcinosis circumscripta is described as firm, white dermal papules, plaques, or subcutaneous nodules found in a variety of distributions. They commonly ulcerate, extruding a chalky white material most frequently identified as hydroxyapatite Calcinosis cutis lesions commonly appear on the skin as bumps or flat raised areas (papules or plaques) with gritty yellow, white, or grey granules. The lesions are commonly surrounded by reddened skin, because calcinosis cutis often causes inflammation. The most probable immediate cause is an increase in the blood enzyme lipase, which leads to degeneration of the subcutaneous adipose tissue. Postmortem examination, histopathology and immunohistochemistry were suggestive of dystrophin-deficient muscular dystrophy (DDMD). This case emphasises the importance of including DDMD as a differential diagnosis for regurgitation and lingual calcinosis circumscripta in cats The lump was found to be calcinosis circumscripta, which is a disease commonly found in German Shepherds. If not removed, this growth would continue to grow and become very inflamed. The problem with a lump this size is that there is not enough skin on the elbow to allow skin coverage of the removed lump; it requires a specialized skin graft
It is very rare in cats. Usually, calcinosis circumscripta manifests as a single, firm, haired or alopecic, dome-shaped, SC or deep dermal mass that may ulcerate and discharge a white gritty substance In this study the ages of dogs ranged from 4 months to 15 years, but 74% of the affected dogs were <2 years and 88% were <4 years of age Figure 8Yellow chalky nodular materials are present in the dermis and subcutis of a paw from case 3. The two lateral lobes of metacarpal pad are more severely affected, while the apex distal (*) is relatively spared. - Calcinosis Cutis , Calcinosis Circumscripta , and Mille Feuille Lesion Hyperadrenocorticism also is manifest by skin changes such as hyperpigmentation, alopecia, seborrhea, calcinosis cutis, and secondary pyoderma. In cats, the skin becomes extremely friable. In diabetes mellitus, pruritus and secondary infection sometimes occur, especially in cats with generalized Malassezia sp infection Calcinosis circumscripta, also called tumoral calcinosis, is an idiopathic, clinically distinctive subgroup of calcinosis cutis characterized by tissue deposition of mineral calcium salts. This syndrome is uncommon in dogs and is very rare in cats A dog with calcinosis cutis was treated by topical dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) administration. Calcinosis circumscripta, a more localized form of calcium deposition in the skin, can occur on pressure points such as the paws and elbows, at suture sites, and on the tongue, but has different underlying causes than calcinosis cutis Cytology was compatible with calcinosis cutis due to suspected iatrogenic hypercortisolism, with secondary.
Calcinosis cutis is a rare disease of aberrant calcium deposition in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. There are four major types: Idiopathic: occurs without tissue injury or metabolic defect (e.g., idiopathic scrotal calcinosis). Dystrophic: secondary to local tissue damage or alterations in collagen, elastin or subcutaneous fat but normal. Predisposition of Dog Breeds to Disease in Vallejo, CA.

Call us today at 707-642-4405 for an appointment Calcinosis circumscripta is a rare focal deposition of minerals in the subcutaneous tissue of cats. The etiology and pathogenesis are unknown, but its occurrence on cats has been associated with kidney disease and the use of progestogens. When no cause can be attributed it is considered idiopathic with no history of any disease, trauma or injection
Idiopathic calcinosis circumscripta is a rare and unusual disorder that seems to have a predilection for young, large breed dogs. There is an abnormal deposition of calcium in tissues usually overlying bony prominences. This disorder has been reported in humans, horses, cats, dogs, a cow, a buffalo and nonhuman primates Calcinosis circumscripta has occasionally been seen following surgical procedures, use of polydioxanone suture material, and progestin (medroxyprogesterone acetate) injections in dogs and cats [15-19].

Calcinosis circumscripta can present as well-defined mineralization in the rostral portion of the tongue typically in young, large-breed dogs. The cause of lingual calcinosis is unknown, although the rostral location and the young age of the patient suggest that mechanical trauma or chemical agents may be etiologic factors In calcinosis circumscripta (calcium gout, kalk gicht [chalk gout], tumoral calcinosis), deposits of amorphous calcified material are laid down in the subcutaneous tissue and skin. Lesions are usually found on the limbs, under the pads, or over bony prominences Calcinosis circumscripta is a well-recognised condition in domestic mammals and is most common in dogs and horses1. It is comparably rare in reptiles with most reports being limited to aquatic turtles and a few lizard species2,4-6. This current report describes the diagnosis of Calcinosis circumscripta in a captive mature land-dwelling cheloni • Calcinosis circumscripta is usually a solitary lesion, but multiple masses are possible. The lesion is a firm, haired to alopecic, well-circumscribed, subcutaneous or deep dermal mass that may ulcerate and discharge a chalky or gritty substance 0. I have a 7 month male Rottweiler and have had him since he was 8 weeks, he has been training to become an assistance dog but recently has been diagnosed with Calcinosis Circumscripta (salty calcium deposits) on his tongue (the whole tongue). I saw both of his parents and his breeder is a German Shepherd reg breeder, soon to be a reg Rotty.
Calcinosis cutis is the accumulation of calcium salt crystals in your skin. The calcium deposits are hard bumps that don't dissolve. The shape and size of the lesions vary. Sometimes they don. Calcinosis Circumscripta is a focal area of calcification that develops on areas of repetitive trauma/pressure, such as the footpads or at sites of bite wounds or repetitive choke chain trauma. Surgical excision is usually curative

Low-level laser is a different type of laser application which involves the use of low power. It is used to alter the cell function without destroying the tissue for soft tissue rehabilitation. Laser surgery has been used for years in human medicine, dermatology in. Euthanasia. A process of killing animals because they are very ill, injured or contribute to pet overpopulation - the latter is a good reason to have your female cat spayed as early as possible CC is classified as calcinosis circumscripta if it is limited to an extremity or joint. Calcinosis universalis occurs when there is diffuse involvement of subcutaneous and fibrous structures of muscles and tendons.

Calcinosis circumscripta of the left thoracic wall was diagnosed in a six-month-old, female German shepherd dog by thoracic radiography and ultrasonographic-guided biopsy. The puppy developed the lesion following a left thoracotomy to repair a patent ductus arteriosus. Complete resolution occurred following surgical excision of the lesion Calcinosis is a rare condition described in pets. It is characterized mainly by calcium deposition in the skin of multifactorial aetiology that ranges from dystrophic, metastatic, idiopathic to iatrogenic origin (Scott et al., 2001, Gross et al., 2005) . Subdivide in calcinosis cutis and calcinosis circumscripta (Gross et al. 2005)
Osteosarcoma is a term that refers to a bone tumor that is especially prevalent in the canine world. This bone cancer, in most cases, is centered around bones of the limbs -- it occurs around the knees, wrists or shoulders, for instance. An osteosarcoma moves fast Calcinosis cutis. Calcinosis cutis (or cutaneous calcification) is a type of calcinosis wherein calcium deposits form in the skin. A variety of factors can result in this condition. The most common source is dystrophic calcification, which occurs in soft tissue as a response to injury Calcinosis is of two types: (a) calcinosis circumscripta, in which there are localized collections of calcium in the skin and subcutaneous tissues, usually around the joints, frequently.
