Abstract
We present two cases of patients with systemic autoimmune diseases (one with dermatomyositis and one with CREST syndrome) who presented with a worsening of calcinosis cutis after treatment of osteoporosis with teriparatide. To our knowledge, this association is not described in the literature and might be considered in the spectrum of adverse reactions to teriparatide.
