Giant scrotal calcinosis: A case report

Abstract

Scrotal calcinosis is a rare benign course of the scrotum, usually accompanied by asymptomatic nodules. The nodules are of varying size and have no accompanying metabolic disorder. We prepared a case report of a 70-year-old male patient with painless nodules in the scrotum. Nodules were successfully removed with surgical excision. Pathology was reported consistent with scrotal calcinosis involving calcium deposits. Histologic studies have not yet fully understood the etiology of calcium accumulation in the nodules.

Dev skrotal kalsinozis: Olgu sunumu

Abstract

Skrotal kalsinozis, skrotum cildinde yer alan, genellikle asemptomatik nodüllerle seyreden, nadir görülen benign seyirli bir hastalıktır. Nodüller değişen büyüklüklerde olmakla beraber eşlik eden herhangi bir metabolik bozukluğa rastlanmamıştır. Skrotumda yaygın, ağrısız nodülleri bulunan 70 yaşında bir erkek hastanın olgu sunumunu hazırladık. Nodüller cerrahi eksizyonla başarılı bir şekilde çıkartıldı. Patolojisi kalsiyum depozitleri içeren skrotal kalsinozisle uyumlu olarak raporlandı. Histolojik çalışmalar nodüllerde kalsiyum birikimini göstermiş olsa da etiyolojisi henüz tam olarak anlaşılamamıştır.
