Idiopathic tumoral calcinosis is an unusual benign condition characterized by the presence of calcified soft tissue masses of varying size around the joints. In this retrospective study, clinical data and radiological features of nine cases of idiopathic tumoral calcinosis are reviewed. Imaging features, particularly magnetic resonance imaging findings are detailed.
