Plain film X‐ray shows (A) numerous small soft tissue calcifications extensively scattered over the patient's pelvic region, and (B) extensive soft tissue calcifications over the thigh, knee, and lower leg. (C) Computed tomography shows that extensive calcified lesions only exist in the skin and subcutaneous tissues, with no involvement in muscles, vessels, or visceral organs. (D) Pathology of the skin and subcutaneous tissue reveal patches of black‐colored staining, indicating tissue calcification under microscopy (hematoxylin‐eosin stain, 40 ×).
