Kutane Kalzinose · Calcinosis cutis circumscripta · Tumoral calcinosis · Umschriebene Hautverkalkung
Calcinosis circumscripta is a skin condition where firm, localized calcium deposits build up in the tissues under the skin, most commonly over pressure points or joints. This abnormal accumulation is typically triggered by localized tissue damage, repetitive irritation, or inflammation. It primarily affects the subcutaneous tissue, which is the deepest layer of the skin.
Owners will typically notice firm, painless lumps or nodules under the skin, especially around the elbows, hocks, or sometimes on the tongue. These bumps most commonly appear in young, large-breed dogs under two years of age.
The condition is highly treatable through a one-time surgical removal of the calcium nodules, which generally leads to a complete recovery. The typical cost for diagnostics and surgery ranges from 500 to 2000 EUR.
