Calcinosis cutis is a condition of calcium hydroxide deposition in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Literature divides calcinosis in to 4 major types with description of sites and causes. But here we are reporting the unique presentation of calcinosis cutis in atypical presentation. Usually present over the surgical scar, keloid, periarticulararea, heel, as nodule [1]. Here our 1st patient is presenting with non specific whitish plaque bilaterally symmetrical over the face and 2nd patient present over anterior superior iliac spine with tender swelling. There were not much cases reported with calcinosis over these atypical sites. So this will be interesting cases to practitioners.
