Abstract
Scrotal calcinosis is a rare condition characterized by multiple calci fied nodules within scrotal skin, To our knowledge, only 67 cases have been reported to date, The etiology has been widely disputed and is v iewed by many to be idiopathic, We describe a case of ''idiopathic'' s crotal calcinosis that not only presents a distinctly unusual clinical appearance, but also shows that at least some cases of this: disease occur in association with dystrophic calcification of epidermal (folli cular) cysts.
