Dystrophic calcinosis cutis occurs in approximately one-fourth of patients with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), particularly in those with the limited variant or CREST syndrome. The most frequently involved sites are the extremities. Occasionally, calcinosis involves the trunk or head, but involvement of bony orbital walls is extremely rare. Surgical excision can be considered for treatment of discrete foci of calcinosis cutis.
