- Circumscribed (calcinosis metabolica circumscripta) or diffuse(calcinosis metabolica universalis) calcification of the cutis and subcutis (possibly also musculature) without any detectable calcium or phosphate metabolic disorder.
- In American literature the terms calcinosis metabolica, dystrophica and idiopathica are used synonymously. This seems to be a useful and pragmatic solution from a clinical point of view. Therefore, in this encyclopedia these terms are listed individually, but are treated under the term"Calcinosis dystrophica".
