摘要
A 14-year-old girl with juvenile dermatomyositis developed extensive and debilitating calcinosis, unresponsive to colchicine, while muscle involvement subsided. Pamidronate ( 2 mg/kg/year) produced dramatic improvement of pain and function within 2 months and calcinosis had completely resolved by 2 years. No new calcifications have been noted with a 5-year follow-up. (C) 2009 Societe francaise de rhumatologie. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.,
