    Calcinosis is a common and debilitating complication of dermatomyositis. It is a hallmark of the disease, occurring mainly in pediatric patients. Little is known about its pathophysiology, and there is no universally recognized treatment. This is a report of two children with juvenile dermatomyositis and severe calcinosis who showed improvement with the use of alendronate and diltiazen in one patient, and intravenous immunoglobulin in the other.
