Calciphylaxis of the breast with associated diffuse dermal angiomatosis

We report a case of unilateral breast CPX with a protracted clinical course and superimposed diffuse dermal angiomatosis (DDA). These two unusual cutaneous vaso-occlusive conditions have rarely been reported simultaneously. We review the literature and discuss the relationship and predisposing factors between these two conditions. We believe our case suggests that DDA could be precipitated by CPX secondary to calcific vaso-occlusion.
