An 80-year-old man presented with a hard swelling in the lower labial
sulcus. Radiological investigation showed a mineralized mass on the la
bial aspect of an edentulous mandible which, on excision, demonstrated
the histological features of calcinosis cutis. No other sites seemed
to be affected by calcific deposits in this patient, who appears to be
the oldest reported case of metastatic calcinosis, and the first intr
a-oral case, to date. The different forms of calcinosis cutis are high
lighted.
