  "abstract": "Tumoral calcinosis is a rare condition characterised by deposits of calcium salts in the soft tissues surrounding major joints. We report a case of a boy in early adolescence who presented with a 7 mm nodular lesion near his left elbow, appearing reddish–yellowish in colour ( figure 1). The patient had symptoms of pain and irritating discomfort associated with the location of the lesion. The lesion was managed with surgical excision under local anaesthesia with 5 mm margins. The patient was free of symptoms and without recurrence at the 10-month follow-up.",
