Özet:

Scrotal calcinosis is a rarely encountered disease, characterized by the development of multiple, irregular-sized, non-painful, and moderately hard nodules. Etiopathogenesis of scrotal calcinosis has not been clearly explained since it was first defined in 1888. Two cases presented to our outpatient clinic with that were various sizes and nodular in character, histopathological results of the resected nodules are discussed here with the reference to the literature. Our findings support the hypothesis that epidermal cysts are an important pathway in the pathogenesis of scrotal calcinosis. On the other hand the important question that remains is: Why does dystrophic calcification prefer the scrotum?
