Question

Dystrophic calcification occurs in damaged or necrotic tissues (e.g., in areas of tuberculosis infection, atherosclerotic lesions) while serum calcium levels are normal. Metastatic calcification, on the other hand, occurs due to elevated serum calcium levels (hypercalcemia), often seen in conditions like hyperparathyroidism, increased bone resorption (e.g., in multiple myeloma), etc.
