Bone scintigraphy findings in calciphylaxis

Calciphylaxis is a poorly understood condition involving vascular calcification and thrombosis that leads to skin necrosis. Unfortunately, a noninvasive definitive test for calciphylaxis does not currently exist, and diagnosis relies on clinical symptoms and risk factors. Imaging can help guide diag...

description Calciphylaxis is a poorly understood condition involving vascular calcification and thrombosis that leads to skin necrosis. Unfortunately, a noninvasive definitive test for calciphylaxis does not currently exist, and diagnosis relies on clinical symptoms and risk factors. Imaging can help guide diagnosis of this rare disorder. We present a pathology-proven case of calciphylaxis and the corresponding imaging findings seen on bone scintigraphy.
