Abstract
Idiopathic scrotal calcinosis is rare entity, characterized by the presence of multiple, firm nodules within the dermis of scrotal skin. The lesions are evident as asymptomatic, round, firm, yellowish papules, from several millimeters up to 1 cm in diameter, with a tendency to occur symmetrically. Because polypoid formation of the calcified cysts is unusual in scrotal calcinosis, we report our experience of a case of scrotal calcinosis with cysts having polypoid appearence. A 34-year-old man was admitted to our department with painless, firm, widespread nodules within the scrotum. Patient started to have these lesions at puberty and progressed to a polypoid form over time. There was neither surgical nor medical treatment had been attempted before our treatment. Physical examination revealed localized polypoid cysts in addition to multiple small, firm nodules within the scrotal skin. No underlying anomalies were detected in the physical examination and laboratory analysis. We experienced the treatment of polypoid idiopathic scrotal calcinosis and a case is presented with the review of literatures.
