Clinical and histological features of a case of the so-called idiopathic calcinosis of the scrotum in a 22 year-old otherwise healthy man are presented. In a first biopsy we did not observe any evidence of squamous epithelial lining around calcified masses, but in a second one we observed some intact epidermoid cysts and granulomas of foreign-body type around keratinous material. These findings suggest that scrotal calcinosis is not idiopathic, but rather the end stage of dystrophic calcification of scrotal epidermoid cysts.
本文报告了一名22岁身体健康男性患所谓特发性阴囊钙化症的临床和组织学特征。在首次活检中，我们未观察到钙化肿块周围有鳞状上皮衬里的迹象，但在第二次活检中，我们观察到一些完整的表皮样囊肿以及角质物质周围的异物型肉芽肿。这些发现表明，阴囊钙化并非特发性，而是阴囊表皮样囊肿营养不良性钙化的终末期。
