Calcium Build Up In Abdomen And Split Into A Wound. Any Prognosis As It Is Leaking And Has Odor?
I have just read your information about calcium buildup inthe body. Specifically in the abdomen. My mother-in-law who is ninety has this. We have seen CT of the abdomen and there are large amounts of calcium buildup. There is so much that the skin in the area of the buildup was very hard, and this was about 1 1/2 years ago. Just recently this area of the abdomen has split into a wound about 2" long and 1/4" wide and 1/4" deep. Is there any prognosis for a wound this size, which is leeking and has an odor?

This is not the actual "calcium" but this could be a calcification, in old age with the multiple medical problems the calcification are very likely, for your next query the prognosis is depend upon the diagnosis and the over all clinical condition of the patients, take care of lady and I would be glad to answer your next query if asked with the complete details, bye.
