Idiopathic scrotal calcinosis (ISC) is characterised by the presence of multiple firm scrotal nodules of unknown or controversial etiology. It is a rare, yet benign, entity of the scrotal skin. However, it affects the quality of life of the patients. Here, we describe a case report of ISC in a 50 year-old male patient with a 20 year-history of symptoms. Despite the delayed diagnosis, patient was treated with surgical excision succesfully. No recurrence has been seen by the end of the 3 years of follow-up. We also reviewed the literature.
特发性阴囊钙化症(ISC)的特征是存在多个病因不明或有争议的阴囊硬结。它是一种罕见但良性的阴囊皮肤病变。然而,它会影响患者的生活质量。在此,我们报告一例50岁男性特发性阴囊钙化症患者,其症状已有20年病史。尽管诊断延迟,但患者通过手术切除成功治愈。随访3年结束时未见复发。我们还对相关文献进行了综述。
