Abstract
Tumor calcinosis is a rare, well-defined clinical entity characterized by the deposition of calcium material in the periarticular soft tissues taking tumor form. Diagnosis is most often made by imaging. We report the case of a 43-year-old chronic hemodialysis patient with a swelling of the right shoulder that has progressively progressed over the past 3 months. The CT scan of the shoulder allowed the diagnosis of pseudo tumoral calcinosis to be made and the anatomopathological study confirmed it after surgical removal.
