Tumoral calcinosis (TC) is an uncommon ectopic calcification syndrome. TC is a benign
condition characterized by the presence of large calcific soft tissue deposits occurring
predominantly in a periarticular location. It generally occurs as a complication of
renal dialysis or trauma, and is rarely seen in familial and sporadic cases. Bone
scintigraphy is a sensitive method for diagnosing TC. We report a case of year old
female with. She underwent bone scintigraphy to see the sites of involvement, which
showed intense foci of tracer activity in soft tissue in bilateral thigh and gluteal
region. Hybrid single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography of the
pelvis and thigh localized tracer uptake to the calcification in the gluteal and thigh
region.
