SLSoufiane LakniziMJMounir JamaliBBBouzid Balla

Key Points

  • To report cases of idiopathic scrotal calcinosis and discuss its clinical features and treatment options.
  • Presented two cases of young adult males with gradual development of scrotal nodules
  • Conducted surgical excision for treatment
  • Performed histopathological examination for diagnosis
  • Both patients presented with painless calcified nodules
  • Surgical excision resulted in the successful removal of the lesions
  • Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of idiopathic scrotal calcinosis

Abstract

Idiopathic scrotal calcinosis (ISC) is a rare benign condition characterized by the gradual development of multiple painless calcified nodules confined to the scrotal skin. Although its exact origin remains poorly understood, several pathogenic mechanisms have been proposed, and its etiology continues to be debated. We report two cases of ISC in young adult males presenting with slowly progressive scrotal nodules, highlighting the characteristic clinical features of this uncommon entity, the role of surgical excision as definitive treatment, and the importance of histopathological examination in establishing the diagnosis.
