Pseudoxanthoma elasticum-like changes in nonuremic calciphylaxis: Case series and brief review of a helpful diagnostic clue.
Journal of Cutaneous Pathology 2017 December
Calciphylaxis is a rare syndrome of vascular calcification with thrombosis that occurs most often in patients with end-stage renal disease, and it frequently portends a guarded prognosis. Rarely, nonuremic calciphylaxis (NUC) may occur; in this context, a strongly supportive histology is crucial in establishing the diagnosis. Herein, we describe 2 cases of NUC associated with pseudoxanthoma elasticum-like changes, identified in both initial nondiagnostic and subsequent diagnostic biopsy specimens. This unusual but helpful histologic finding may support the early diagnosis and treatment of a potentially life-threatening disease in the context of subtle histopathologic vascular changes or in the absence of classic clinical or laboratory findings.
