OBS

On distingue classiquement des calcinoses idiopathiques, localisées (calcinosis circumscripta) ou diffuses (calcinosis universalis) et des calcinoses secondaires à une hypercalcémie ou à une maladie du collagène (essentiellement polymyosite et sclérodermie). La chondrocalcinose articulaire diffuse, les calcifications discales et tendineuses ne font pas partie de la calcinose.
