Abstract
-
CREST syndrome is an indolent form of systemic sclerosis and refers to the manifestations of calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly and telangiectasias. We report a typical case of CREST syndrome in a 67-year-old woman, who presented with extensive, hard, calcified nodules and plaques on her shins, fingers, pelvis, and shoulder.
