The local examination showed signs of infllamation, hyper pigmentation and hardness and local tenderness. Laboratory studies were unremarkable. MRI study shows irregular area (3 x7.6 x 14cm) of heterogenously hyperintense on T1 weighted images which appears heterogenously hypointense on STIR images noted in subcutaneous plane at left gluteal region-suggest FAT NECROSIS. PD/STIR hyperintensity noted involving underlying left gluteal maximus muscle- suggest oedema. Debridement and Excisional Biopsy performed and sent for analysis. Report suggests histological features favour calcinosis. And adviced for PTH, S.Calcium, Phosphorus, S. Creatinine. All investigations were unsignificant. For Definative management lesion excision and limberg flap plasty operation performed. Total operative time was 120 minutes. Excised lesion sent for histopathological examination.
