Abstract:
A 25-year-old man had been intermittently treated with topical steroid ointment for his eczematous lesions on the scrotum. One year later, a few hard nontender nodules were found with surrounding thickened lichenified skin on the previous lesions. Histopathologic examination of the skin revealed moderate acanthosis of the epidermis and multiple scattered calcified materials in the upper demis and within the hair follicle. We present this case, being considered a dystrophic calcinosis cutis due to local injury.
