Dystrophic calcification can occur even if the amount of calcium in the blood is not elevated. A systemic mineral imbalance would elevate calcium levels in the blood and all tissues and cause metastatic calcification . Basophilic calcium salt deposits aggregate, first in the mitochondria, and progressively throughout the cell. These calcifications are an indication of previous microscopic cell injury. It occurs in areas of cell necrosis in which activated phosphatases bind calcium ions to phospholipids in the membrane. Calcification can occur in dead or degenerated tissue. Calcification in dead tissue Caseous necrosis in T.B. is most common site of dystrophic calcification. Liquefactive necrosis in chronic abscesses may get calcified. Fat necrosis following acute pancreatitis or traumatic fat necrosis in breasts results in deposition of calcium soaps. Infarct s may undergo D.C. Thrombus Thrombi , especially in veins, may produce phlebolith is. Haematoma s in the vicinity of bones may undergo D.C. Dead parasites like schistosoma eggs may calcify. Congenital toxoplasmosis or rubella may be seen on X ray as calcifications in the brain. Calcification in degenerated tissue Dense scars may undergo hyaline degeneration and calcification.
