Calcific tendinitis is a common condition where deposits of calcium phosphate form in a tendon, sometimes causing pain at the affected site. Deposits can occur in several places in the body, but are by far most common in the rotator cuff of the shoulder.

Calcification is the accumulation of calcium salts in a body tissue. It normally occurs in the formation of bone, but calcium can be deposited abnormally in soft tissue, [1] [2] causing it to harden. Calcifications may be classified on whether there is mineral balance or not, and the location of the calcification. [3]
Calcinosis is the formation of calcium deposits in any soft tissue. [1] It is a rare condition that has many different causes. These range from infection and injury to systemic diseases like kidney failure.
Calcium deposits, or calcification, can occur when calcium builds up in your body. This buildup of calcium can harden in your tissues, organs or blood vessels. When this happens, your body's normal processes may not run correctly.
3 cze 2008 · The vertebrate extracellular milieu, an internal sea, has calcium concentrations approaching the solubility product for several salts. Thus, mechanisms evolved to limit nucleation and propagation of calcium deposits in vertebrate soft tissues.
Calcinosis cutis or cutaneous calcification occurs when calcium is deposited into the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Lesions gradually develop and are often symptomless and usually appear firm, whitish/yellowish papules, plaques or nodules on the surface of the skin.
Calcification or mineralization are terms given to describe the crystallization of ionized calcium (Ca 2+) and PO 43−. This is a highly regulated physiological process occurring in bones and teeth, and a pathological process occurring in soft tissues.
