Introduction: Calciphylaxis, also known as calcific uremic arteriolopathy (CUA), is a rare but dreaded condition in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), whether they are on dialysis or not. Case report: A 67-year-old woman with a 10-year history of chronic renal failure, undergoing hemodialysis, presented with bilateral mastitis characterized by severe lancinating pain and non-healing tissue loss despite medical treatment with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Mammography provided limited imaging findings. The diagnosis of calciphylaxis was established after bilateral surgical biopsy.
