“…Scrotal calcinosis is a rare condition marked by the presence of intradermal calcium deposits resulting in progressive appearance of skin nodules, which increase in number and size with age. 1 , 2 Although benign, in extreme cases the disfigurement may be alarming. Scrotal calcinosis typically appears in early adulthood but patients tend to present late due to the indolent course of the disease.…”

“…Our case presented with asymptomatic, multiple calcified nodules over scrotal skin in third decade of life, supporting previous literature. 3 The etiopathogenesis of ISC is still controversial. Previous studies suggest that scrotal calcinosis is not associated with any disorder mainly the calcium-phosphorus metabolism or parathyroid hormonal imbalance, approving the idiopathic origin.…”

Idiopathic Scrotal Calcinosis (ISC) is a rare benign lesion involving the scrotal skin which is characterized by the presence of single or multiple calcified nodules. It usually presents during third decade of life. Many theories about the etiopathogenesis have been proposed, one of which is dystrophic calcification in the background of epidermal inclusion cyst over a period of time. Clinically, scrotal calcinosis may be confused with epidermal inclusion cysts, steatocystoma, cutaneous circumscription or benign tumors like lipoma, fibroma or others. Our patient, 25 year old male presented with multiple painless swellings over scrotal skin. Clinical diagnosis of multiple sebaceous cysts was made. Surgical excision of all the nodules was done and sent for histopathological examination. Microscopy revealed presence of amorphous basophilic calcified deposits in the dermis, predominantly without epithelial lining. The histopathological diagnosis of idiopathic scrotal calcinosis was made.

“…ECs may be found in autosomal dominant Gardner and Gorlin syndrome but most cases are seen as sporadic (2). Scrotal calcinosis (SC), another benign lesion in the scrotum, is a rare disease characterized by multiple papules or calcification nodules in scrotal skin (3). In this study we discussed two cases of epidermoid cysts and one scrotal calcinosis.…”

Background: The aim this study was to explain the underlying etiology of unknown scrotal masses. Case presentation: This study included 3 patients with a intrascrotal mass. One patient was over 50 years. The remaining patients were between the ages of 30-50. Patients had no serious complaints (two complained about having 3 testicles and one complained of swelling in the scrotum for the last 6 months). All patients underwent scrotal exploration under general anesthesia and the specimen was sent for pathological examination. All masses were mobile and encapsulated. The masses were not associated with the testicle. Two cases had classical histologic features of epidermoid cyst and one had scrotal calcinosis in the pathological report. Physical examination, operation, magnetic resonance and histological images of scrotal masses were shown in the figures. Conclusions: This study is important in terms of showing the underlying etiology of the rare scrotal masses.
