Scrotal calcinosis: a case report and literature review.

Objective: To understand the clinical features of idiopathic scrotal calcium deposits, to improve the understanding of the disease, and to discuss its etiology, pathogenesis and scrotal reconstruction strategies in the course of diagnosis and treatment.

Methods: To analyze the diagnosis and treatment of one case of idiopathic calcium salt deposition in the scrotum and to review the relevant literature.

Results: The patient was a 55-year-old male with multiple yellowish-white nodules of varying sizes in the scrotum for more than 20 years, with hard nodules and no tenderness or ulcerative manifestations. Under subarachnoid anesthesia, the scrotum was reconstructed after surgical excision of all diseased nodes, and postoperative pathology was consistent with scrotal calcium salt deposition.

Conclusion: Scrotal idiopathic calcium deposits is a rare skin conditions caused by insoluble calcium salts deposited in the scrotal skin tissue, for which surgical excision of the lesion is the main treatment modality with remarkable results. It needs to be differentiated from epidermoid cysts, multiple lipodystrophies of the scrotum, and scabies nodules.
