AA Waitzman, a Freiberg. Mirror image calcified lesions of the finger tip: Two case reports. Can J Plast Surg 1993; 1 (1):52-54. Calcified lesions in the pulp of the finger tip are quite rare. Two case reports of mirror image lesions are presented with clinical, radiological and tissue pathology evaluation. All laboratory parameters were normal, there were no systemic signs or symptoms, and no evidence of crystal disease, neoplasm or previous trauma. These lesions may represent dystrophic calcification or tumoral calcinosis, but the etiology is far from clear. Excision and closure under local anesthesia was successful in managing these lesions.
