This report describes an unusual case of gangrene affecting the breast in a non-lactating geriatric patient with Calcinosis universalis. Emergency left mastectomy was carried out together with parenteral antibiotic cover. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in the English literature to occur in patient with Calcinosis universalis.
