Weichteilverkalkungen
Gout in a
radiograph of the [left] foot. Typical (main) localization at the metatarsophalangeal joint of the great toe. Note also the soft tissue swelling on the lateral border of the foot.

Soft tissue calcification is commonly seen and caused by a wide range of pathology.
Differential diagnosis
There is a wide range of causes of soft tissue calcification :
- dystrophic soft tissue calcification (most common)
- vascular
- arterial calcification
- phleboliths
- metabolic
- CPPD (causing chondrocalcinosis)
- metastatic calcification
- idiopathic tumoral calcinosis
- autoimmune diseases
- infection
- neoplasm
- primary or metastatic osteosarcoma
- synovial osteochondromatosis
- trauma
- myositis ossificans
- tendonitis
- injection site granuloma
- surgical scar
- burn
- others
