Scrotal calcinosis, consisting of solitary or multiple circumscribed deposits of calcium within the dermis of the scrotum, has generally been assumed to be idiopathic. We have recently examined three patients in whom scrotal epidermoid cysts in varying stages of inflammation coexisted with scrotal calcinosis. Some cysts showed calcification of their keratin contents with little evidence of active inflammation. Other cysts showed rupture of their epithelial walls associated with the presence of keratin fibers, granulomatous inflammation, and calcium granules in the surrounding dermis. It seems that so-called idiopathic scrotal calcinosis may represent the end stage of dystrophic calcification associated with the inflammation of scrotal epidermoid cysts.
阴囊钙质沉着症表现为阴囊真皮内单个或多个局限性钙沉积，通常被认为是特发性的。我们最近检查了三名患者，他们阴囊表皮样囊肿处于不同炎症阶段，同时伴有阴囊钙质沉着症。一些囊肿显示其角蛋白内容物钙化，几乎没有活动性炎症迹象。其他囊肿显示其上皮壁破裂，伴有角蛋白纤维、肉芽肿性炎症以及周围真皮内的钙颗粒。所谓的特发性阴囊钙质沉着症似乎可能代表与阴囊表皮样囊肿炎症相关的营养不良性钙化的终末期。
