Idiopathic Scrotal Calcinosis – A Case Report
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.
Idiopathic scrotal calcinosis: A brief case report
IP innovative publication pvt. ltd, 2019
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.
Scrotal Calcinosis: A Case Report and Review of Pathogenesis and Surgical Management
Case Reports in Urology, 2012
Idiopathic scrotal calcinosis is an uncommon benign disorder of the scrotal skin which is characterized by multiple calcified intradermal nodules. We report a 33-year old with asymptomatic multiple calcified scrotal skin nodules. He had wide excision of the lesions and direct closure of the scrotum. We review the pathogenesis and surgical treatment options for this rare disease of the scrotum.
Idiopathic scrotal calcinosis: surgical treatment and histopathologic evaluation of etiology
Urology, 2010
Patients with idiopathic scrotal calcinosis present with multiple, asymptomatic calcified nodules on the scrotum that appear in childhood or early adulthood. The scrotal skin can be extensively affected, and scrotal reconstruction with complicated procedures usually seems to be needed after excision. However, primary closure is usually achievable. Two cases are presented with histopathologic findings of scrotal calcinosis. The possible etiologies are discussed, and the therapeutic alternatives are reviewed.
Idiopathic Calcinosis Cutis of Scrotum
Journal of Case Reports, 2015
A 45 year old male presented with multiple, painless, hard nodular swelling over scrotum of two years duration. The nodules gradually increased in size. There was no history of trauma or any systemic illness. A provisional diagnosis of sebaceous cyst of scrotum was made. His haematological and biochemical parameters were normal. En-block excision of lesion was done. Histopathological diagnosis of calcinosis cutis was made and confirmed by Von Kossa stain. We report herewith a case of idiopathic calcinosis cutis of scrotum and review the literature regarding pathogenesis and management.
Scrotal Calcinosis - An Etiological Dilemma: A Prospective Study
2015
Introduction: Scrotal calcinosis is a rare benign condition of scrotal skin with disputed etiology. It is characterized by single or multiple calcified nodules on a scrotal skin. It should be investigated and confirmed to rule out any malignancy of testis. Fineneedle aspiration cytology is difficult due to calcification. Hence, the only way to confirm is histopathology of excised nodule. Purpose: Purpose of this study was to establish an etiology of scrotal calcinosis. Methods: This is a prospective study over a period of 3-year. The total of 20 patients were analyzed clinically, biochemically, and histopathologically. Result: The total 20 cases of scrotal calcinosis were analyzed, no metabolic, or biochemical abnormalities were found in any of the patient. All cases histopathologically confirmed to be idiopathic in origin. Conclusion: We conclude that scrotal calcinosis is more likely an idiopathic process. Though it is a rare benign disease, such patients should be thoroughly inve...
Scrotal Calcinosis mimicking malignancy - A rare case presentation
IP innovative publication pvt ltd, 2020
Scrotal calcinosis is a rare benign disease, which presents as multiple, painless, hard nodular growth in the scrotum without any systemic metabolic disorder. Histologic features of the lesion are extensive dermal deposits of calcium, with associated lympho-histiocytic aggregates and focal foreign body giant cell reaction. The pathogenetic mechanisms could be either purely idiopathic or any form of dystrophic calcification of the lining epithelial cysts or any inflammatory process with subsequent rupture, calcification and obliteration of the cyst wall. We present a rare case report of a 23-year-old male, who presented to the general surgery clinic with complaints of multiple, firm to hard scrotal swellings for the last 6 months. Microscopic examination of the excised growth showed multiple cysts with foci of normal and inflamed lining, with luminal calcific material with foci of ‘naked’ calcium deposits in the dermis. Biochemical tests showed normal values of serum calcium and phosphorus levels in our patient.

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.
