Scrotal calcinosis is a rarely seen benign disease in urological practice. It was first described by Lewinsky in 1883. The etiology is considered to be idiopathic and it is not known exactly. Scrotal calcinosis is usually asymptomatic. Patients live with their disease for a long time until they start to mind their appearances. Scrotal skin lesions can be solitary or multiple and usually are not associated with hormonal or metabolic abnormalities. Histologically, scrotal calcinosis is characterized by the presence of calcium deposits in the dermis, often surrounded by a granulomatous reaction. In this case report, we present a rare scrotal calcinosis case of a 28 year old man who presented with cosmetic symptoms causing scrotal nodules with no history of metabolic, systemic, neoplastic, or autoimmune diseases.
Key words: Idiopathic Calcinosis; Scrotum.
