Abstract

Introduction: Scrotal calcinosis is a rare benign condition. There are usually a few symptoms and the impact is mainly functional and aesthetic. Insoluble calcium salts build up in the skin or superficial soft tissue.
Case Report: A 33-year-old male patient came with complaints of multiple scrotal nodules. Preliminary examination showed multiple such nodules measuring 2–4 cm in diameter.
Conclusion: Epidermoid cyst, scrotal calcinosis, and scrotal abscess were all considered clinically as differential diagnoses. Histopathological examination helped to reach a final diagnosis of scrotal calcinosis which is a rare benign condition.
