Idiopathic scrotal calcinosis is a rare benign condition which presents with asymptomatic multiple nodules on the scrotal skin.
Our patient, a 64-year-old Indian male with Fitzpatrick skin type 4, presented with multiple nodules, which were completely surgically excised with no complications. Histological examination reveals extensive intradermal deposition of calcium surrounded by histiocytes and without cystic structure.
Numerous theories about the pathogenesis have been proposed and the evidence presented suggests this is a continuum.
The nature of idiopathic scrotal calcinosis is still unknown and it is up to debate whether the term "idiopathic" is appropriate for the condition.
特发性阴囊钙化是一种罕见的良性疾病，表现为阴囊皮肤出现无症状的多个结节。
我们的患者是一名64岁的印度男性， Fitzpatrick皮肤类型为4型，出现多个结节，通过手术将其完全切除，无并发症。组织学检查显示真皮内有广泛的钙沉积，周围有组织细胞，无囊性结构。
关于发病机制已经提出了许多理论，现有证据表明这是一个连续过程。
特发性阴囊钙化的本质仍然未知，“特发性”这个术语是否适用于这种情况仍有待争论。
