The observations of the cases of multiple peritendinitis calcarea in young sisters aged 23 were 20 are reported.Calcium deposits about joints associated with acute pain are generally considered to be a clinical and pathological entity. The disease is apparently a self-limited one, and the symptoms generally subside within two weeks. The shoulder is the most commonly involved area, but there is an increasing number of recent publications dealing with calcifications of other joints.The conditions of the disease are well discussed in the literature, and the diagnosis is not difficult when it is kept in mind, but the etiology is remained unknown.It is believed that the deposition of the calcium salt is actually the end result of a necrobiotic process. Compared with the disease of unifocus, multiple peritendinitis tends to occur in younger female and without any remarkable trauma.The discussion of familiar cases may contribute to the etiology of the disease from a viewpoint of any disposition.
