Abstract
Calciphylaxis or calcific arteriolopathy is a rare, life-threatening obstructive pathology of the small cutaneous and subcutaneous vessels. It mainly affects patients with chronic renal failure but it also has been described in patients with normal renal function. The principal risks factors apart from renal failure and phosphocalcic metabolism imbalance are: the female sex, obesity, peripheral vascular disease, diabetes and oral anti-coagulation. We present a very rare case of abdominal, mammarian and upper thighs calciphylaxis in a patient with normal renal function. She presented a severe obesity with a recent important loss of weight and had been treated by oral anticoagulants for a long time. She benefited of a multidisciplinary approach with dermatologists, plastic surgeons and anesthesists permitting a recovery in fourteen weeks. Multidisciplinary approach is necessary but the place of the surgery is not well defined. We report a case in which early and wide surgical approach permitted to obtain a favourable evolution of the pathology. Then, we propose a therapeutic strategy after review of the literature.
