“…Previous literature suggests various theories regarding pathogenesis of this lesion, one of which is dystrophic calcification in epidermal inclusion cyst over a period of time. 2 Clinically, these lesions presents as hard white coloured nodules over scrotal skin. Epidermal inclusion cyst, cutaneous horn, steatocystoma, benign lesions like fibroma, lipoma may be considered in differential diagnosis because of the similar clinical presentation.…”

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.
