Objectives. Our primary objective was to retrospectively analyze whether bisphosphonates initiated in combination with immunosuppressive drugs and/or intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) resulted in a radiological and clinical improvement of dystrophic calcinosis in six female juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) patients.
