The authors report two cases of idiopathic calcinosis of the scrotum studied between the years 1986-1987 at the Central Histology Laboratory of Hopital St-Louis. These cases presented subcutaneous calcinosis strictly limited to the scrotum and not accompanied by any clinical signs and no abnormal laboratory parameters. The macroscopic and histological appearance of the lesions is typical and should suggest the diagnosis. Numerous authors have tried to attribute a pathogenic interpretation to this lesion, but the various etiologies proposed are still purely hypothetical.
