Description
Summary:	A tumoral calcinosis is a rare benign pathology characterized by calcium deposits (calcium phosphate crystals) in the periarticular soft tissues, giving a truly pseudotumor appearance. The same patients with tumoral calcinosis may have manifestation of hyperostosis hyperphosphatemia syndrome. The association is called Hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis which is the case with our patient. We present a unique case of a 10-year-old female child without any notable history. No notion of consanguinity, a non-painful swelling of the right elbow for the last 3 years. She was presented with tumoral calcinosis in the context of familial hyperphosphatemic calcinosis tumor in which the diagnosis of lymphangioma was evoked and then redressed.
