| ABSTRACT |  |
| Scrotal calcinosis, a rare and benign disease, was first described by Lewinski in 1883. The term idiopathic scrotal calcinosis (ISC) was first used by Shapiro in 1970. The pathogenesis of the condition is unclear and remains controversial. ISC is characterized by solid scrotal nodules that are single or multiple, occasionally painless and calcified. Most frequently it occurs in the 20-40 year old age group. However, there are 9 and 85 year old reported cases, too. Here, we report a 38 year-old ISC case in order to emphasise the importance of differential diagnosis of this rare, benign condition from the other scrotal masses. |
