BACKGROUND: Although medial calcification of larger elastic arteries in @entity454 and with advancing age is relatively common, calcification of the cutaneous vascular system is rare. OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to describe three @entity1 with the vascular @entity39 and review the cause, clinical and pathologic features, and treatment of this syndrome. METHODS: We describe three @entity1 with @entity63 and underlying @entity729 . The clinical setting was abnormal @entity460 metabolism from either @entity454 or excessive @entity560 intake. RESULTS: The clinical findings in all @entity1 consisted of multiple tender livedoid nodules and ulcerative plaques on the thighs and legs, which developed in the setting of abnormal @entity460 metabolism from either @entity454 or excessive @entity560 intake. Histologic study demonstrated @entity729 . Although this syndrome usually has a chronic course with significant morbidity and mortality, subtotal parathyroidectomy followed by kidney transplantation resulted in complete resolution in one of our @entity1 . CONCLUSION: The clinical and histopathologic findings in the vascular @entity39 are unique. The pathogenesis is likely multifactorial. Treatment for the @entity272 is largely supportive.
