Scrotal calcinosis is a benign condition where multiple calcified nodules are found within the dermis of the scrotal skin. It is a rare condition which is usually asymptomatic and has no clear aetiology although several theories have been proposed in the aetiopathogenesis. We report a 55-year-old man with extensive scrotal calcinosis. Surgical excision of the affected scrotal skin was curative.
