| Summary: | We report a case of a dialysis patient with painful leg ulcers and a clinical suspicion of calciphylaxis. Conventional radiography revealed extensive hypodermic vascular calcifications, characteristic of the disease. A computed tomography (CT) was performed and objectified the progression of the disease within a few years. This case underscores the value of conventional radiography in cases of suspicion of calciphylaxis and the added value of CT. |
