Scrotal calcinosis is a rare benign condition with painless slow growing nodular masses within the dermis of the scrotal skin. It was fi rst described by Lewinskey in 1883. Deposition calcium in the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, and visceral organs is known as calcinosis, and it more common involves skin and it is called calcinosis cutis. There are four types of calcinosis cutis based on their etiology such as dystrophic, metastatic, iatrogenic, and idiopathic. Idiopathic scrotal calcinosis cutis is a rare benign lesion. Metabolic and hormonal work-up is required to rule out other causes. Irrespective of the etiology, surgical excision is required both for confi rming the diagnosis as well as for treatment. The surgical excision should be based on the extent of the nodules and must include even the smallest nodules to avoid rapid recurrence.
