Abstract

Abstract

Scrotal calcinosis is a rarely encountered di-sease, characterized by the development of mul-tiple, irregular-sized, non-painful, and modera-tely hard nodules. Etiopathogenesis of scrotal calcinosis has not been clearly explained since it was first defined in 1888. Two cases presen-ted to our outpatient clinic with that were vari-ous sizes and nodular in character, histopatho-logical results of the resected nodules are dis-cussed here with the reference to the literature. Our findings support the hypothesis that epi-dermal cysts are an important pathway in the pathogenesis of scrotal calcinosis. On the ot-her hand the important question that remains is: Why does dystrophic calcification prefer the scrotum?

Key Words: Scrotal Calcinosis; etiology
