Patient 15. Soft tissue removed from veterinary grade vitamin injection sites in the shoulder of a 24 year old bodybuilder. The soft tissue was removed 20 months after a kidney biopsy showed nephrocalcinosis. At this 20 month interval, he was hypercalcemic and had hypervitaminosis D. The serum creatinine had increased to 3.4 mg/dl from 1.9 mg/dl at the time of his renal biopsy. The tissue demonstrates calcifications and lipogranulomatous inflammation surrounding oil droplets.
