Graft versus host disease had developed following stem cell transplantation for acute myelogenous leukemia 14 years earlier, but was shown by skin biopsy to have resolved by the time of presentation. Radiographs showed extensive cutaneous calcifications in the lower extremities.

We present a rare case of calcinosis cutis associated with chronic sclerodermoid graft versus host disease in a 59-year-old male, 13 years following allogenic bone marrow transplantation. The etiology of calcification was thought to be dystrophic. Further research is needed to understand the link between calcinosis cutis and chronic sclerodermoid graft versus host disease to assist with selecting appropriate management for these patients.
