Tumoral calcinosis (TC) is a rare disease of obscure aetiology. In its classic form, it is characterised by solitary or multiple large foci of mineralisation in the soft tissue adjacent to the bone around large joints in the absence of disorders of calcium metabolism and visceral calcification. A case is presented of TC in a 75-year old Kenyan woman.
