Abstract
Acute calcific tendinitis is an uncommon condition in which soft tissue calcification is associated with an acute inflammatory reaction that may be confused with an infection. Cohen 1 first described a case of acute calcium deposition at the insertion of the flexor carpi ulnaris in 1924. The condition usually occurs in the adult shoulder, wrist, hand, and, on rare occasions, lower extremity. To our knowledge, there is only one reported case of acute calcific tendinitis in a child. 2 This entity is so rare in children that it may not be considered when one is evaluating a child with a suspected infection.
