A characteristic feature of our patient is the presence of multiple calcifications not only in the areas of injury (limbs), but also in areas of acne (face), as well as particularly active progression of the disease during puberty. A reduction in calcification size was observed after one year of continuous hypophosphatemic therapy (aluminum hydroxide and sevelamer 800 mg). The effectiveness of this therapy is debatable and limited by both poor patient tolerability of sevelamer and poor adherence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>This is the first description of a patient with molecularly confirmed NFTC in Russia.
