We describe a case of 46 years lady with dermatomyositis and calcinosis cutis showing extensive subcutaneous nodules with fluid discharge. The discharge fluid contained very high calcium concentration. X-ray of the subcutaneous nodules showed calcification of soft tissue. USG of spleen showed foci of vascular calcification.
