Idiopathic scrotal calcinosis is formation of calcium deposits in the dermal layers of the scrotum. It results in the formation of single or multiple nodular calcifications that vary in size and number. First reported in 1883, this condition is common in the third decade of life. The presenting complaints range from disfigurement to itching, leading to decreased quality of life. The diagnosis is usually made on a clinical basis and can be confirmed by the histopathology of the excised nodules. Surgical removal of the nodules is the generally recommended treatment. The surgery aims to eradicate the nodules leaving the scrotal skin enough for scrotoplasty. We present a case of idiopathic scrotal calcinosis in a 37 years old male who came for radiological examination.
特发性阴囊钙化是指在阴囊真皮层形成钙沉积物。它会导致单个或多个结节状钙化的形成，其大小和数量各不相同。这种情况于 1883 年首次报道，在人生的第三个十年很常见。其主要表现为从外观畸形到瘙痒，从而导致生活质量下降。诊断通常基于临床检查，并可通过切除结节的组织病理学来确认。手术切除结节通常是推荐的治疗方法。手术的目的是彻底切除结节，为阴囊成形术留下足够的皮肤。我们报告了一例 37 岁男性特发性阴囊钙化的病例，该患者因影像学检查就诊。
