dystrophic calcification

Dystrophic calcification can occur even if the amount of calcium in the blood is not elevated.

The most common type of calcinosis is dystrophic calcification.

The most common source is dystrophic calcification, which occurs in soft tissue as a response to injury.

CT is excellent for demonstrating dystrophic calcifications in the teratoid type.

The mineralized portion may be bone, cementum-like, or dystrophic calcifications.

It is an example of dystrophic calcification.

Foci of dystrophic calcifications may be present.

Caseous necrosis in T.B. is most common site of dystrophic calcification.

Dystrophic calcification, without a systemic mineral imbalance.

Others: Dystrophic calcification, pigmentary changes, painful scars, inscisional hernia etc.

X-ray findings sometimes include dystrophic calcifications in the muscles, and patients may or may not notice small calcium deposits under the skin.

Occasionally, dystrophic calcification may develop in long standing cysts appearing as sparsely distributed, small particulate radio-opacities.

Tissue damage (dystrophic calcification)

Inflammatory scarring of the wall, combined with dystrophic calcification within the wall transforms the gallbladder into a porcelain-like vessel.

The mouse strain DBA/2 is known for its proneness to calcify damaged tissues, a process called "dystrophic calcification".

In contrast, dystrophic calcification is caused by abnormalities or degeneration of tissues resulting in mineral deposition, though blood levels of calcium remain normal.

These deposits, according to the hypothesis, later harden through dystrophic calcification, leading to typical symptoms of high blood pressure (reduced artery wall elasticity) and heart disease complications.

The limbus sign is a ring of dystrophic calcification evident as a "milky precipitate" (i.e. abnormal white color) at the corneal limbus.

These differences in pathology also mean that metastatic calcification is often found in many tissues throughout a person or animal, whereas dystrophic calcification is localized.

Formation of osseous tissue in soft tissues such as the lungs, eyes, arteries, or other organs is known as ectopic calcification, dystrophic calcification, or ectopic ossification.

Brain calcification either dystrophic calcification or metastatic calcification can present with neuropsychiatric symptoms including those associated with AN and comorbid disorders such as obsessive compulsive disorder.

Dystrophic calcification (DC) is the calcification occurring in degenerated or necrotic tissue, as in hyalinized scars, degenerated foci in leiomyomas, and caseous nodules.
