Figures & data
Figure 1. Deep skin biopsy of the left lower leg of a 79 year-old male patient with non-uremic calciphylaxis. The von Kossa stain demonstrates vascular perieccrine calcification (arrow), calcification of a subcutaneous artery and adjacent capillaries (asterisk) as well as diffuse calcification of fibers in the deep dermis.
