Abstract:
Idiopathic scrotal calcinosis is a rare benign disease of scrotal skin, characterized by multiple asymptomatic nodules on the scrotum. The lesions are asymptomatic, round, firm, and yellowish nodules with variable size. Herein, we report a case of idiopathic scrotal calcinosis and a short review of the literature. A 42-year old man presented multiple painless, firm, nodules on his scrotum for about ten years. After excision of the nodules, mixture of calcified material was observed as a typical histological feature of idiopathic scrotal calcinosis.
