Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Idiopathic scrotal calcinosis is a dermatosurgical disorder affecting the scrotal skin and needs surgical excision. It is characterized by multiple calcified nodules on the scrotal skin. It is limited to scrotal skin and has been classified under calcinosis cutis. Although considered to be a metabolic disorder, the serum calcium remains normal in all patients. Scanty reports of idiopathic scrotal calcinosis are available in literature.
Case Report: We report one such case of idiopathic scrotal calcinosis in a 65-year-old male, presenting with multiple painless nodules which were yellowish white and painless involving whole of scrotum. This patient was treated with surgical excision of the involved skin. Conclusion: This case report conveys the message that idiopathic scrotal calcinosis presentation can be large involving whole of scrotum. The picture is classical not to be confused with multiple sebaceous cysts of scrotum. | |
