Tumoral calcinosis (TC) is a distinct pathology with etiologies ranging from primary hereditary forms to secondary underlying conditions, most common being chronic renal failure. Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is often affected by calcinosis, however limited to the subcutaneous tissue. Paraspinal soft tissue is a rare location for tumor like calcific masses in SSc. This case report describes the imaging features of TC in a female patient with SSc.
