Abstract

The case of a 14-year-old teenager is reported who had large sternoclavicular masses. The young man had chronic renal disease due to chronic glomerulonephritis and had been on hemodialysis maintenance for many years. CT showed the masses to be lobulated with low attenuation septa. Metastatic calcification occurs in various systemic diseases.
