Pseudotumoral calcinosis is a rare benign tumor, characterized by deep calcium deposition in peri-articular soft tissues. A numerous list of calcium deposit diseases exists making the calcinosis diagnosis very challenging. There are three principal forms or etiologies; primary or idiopathic forms followed by secondary forms due to chronic renal failure or hyperparathyroidism, then genetic forms such as Hyperphosphatemic Familial Tumoral Calcinosis (HFTC). We report a case of 14-year-old boy with primary tumoral calcinosis of the right hip. Total mass resection was performed without any recurrence at one-year follow-up.
