Idiopathic Scrotal Calcinosis – A Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Scrotal calcinosis is an uncommon benign condition of scrotal skin. It is characterized by single or multiple hard calcified intradermal nodules over the skin. Etiology is controversial and calcinosis occur despite normal calcium and phosphate metabolism. Differential diagnosis include epidermal cyst, pilar cyst or sebaceous cysts. Here we present a case of 40 year old male patient who presented with multiple hard swellings over the scrotum without any serum calcium or phosphate abnormalities. After excision and on Histopathological studies it showed large irregular calcium deposits with giant cells in between confirming the diagnosis ofcalcinosis cutis or scrotal calcinosis. Excision and Biopsy remains the gold standard treatment for scrotal calcinosis.
