| Popis: | Idiopathic scrotal calcinosis is an uncommon benign disorder of the extrascrotal skin which is characterized by multiple calcified intradermal nodules. It is usually asymptomatic and of unclear etiology. Patients often seek treatment for cosmesis. We report a case series of five patients with asymptomatic multiple calcified scrotal skin nodules. They underwent wide excision of the lesions and direct closure of the scrotum. We review the pathogenesis and surgical treatment options for this uncommon entity. |
