Pediatr Dermatol. 2004 Jul-Aug;21(4):483-5. doi: 10.1111/j.0736-8046.2004.21415.x.

Abstract

Milia-like idiopathic calcinosis cutis is a rare entity. Only 17 cases have been reported so far. Two-thirds of these have been associated with Down syndrome. We report the fifth case occurring in a child without Down syndrome. Milia-like idiopathic calcinosis cutis has long been regarded as a peculiar subtype of idiopathic calcinosis cutis. The pathogenesis of the disorder remains unclear.
