Systemic sclerosis [scleroderma] (M34)
Clinical Information
Calcinosis Cutis - Pathological deposition of calcium in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Excessive calcification of the skin may be associated with underlying diseases that cause tissue damage (e.g., EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME; PSEUDOXANTHOMA ELASTICUM; ROTHMUND-THOMSON SYNDROME; and WERNER SYNDROME) or that cause abnormal calcium and phosphate metabolism (e.g., CALCIPHYLAXIS; CHRONIC KIDNEY FAILURE; HYPERPARATHYROIDISM; and SARCOIDOSIS).
CREST Syndrome - A mild form of LIMITED SCLERODERMA, a multi-system disorder. Its features include symptoms of CALCINOSIS; RAYNAUD DISEASE; ESOPHAGEAL MOTILITY DISORDERS; sclerodactyly, and TELANGIECTASIS. When the defect in esophageal function is not prominent, it is known as CRST syndrome.
