We report a case of 57-year-old male patient with extensive scrotal idiopathic calcium salt deposits with multiple masses fused into a mass occupying 2/3 of the scrotal area. The scrotal mass was completely removed surgically and the postoperative pathology was consistent with idiopathic calcium deposits in the scrotum. In this article, we report this case of idiopathic calcium salt deposits in the scrotum and review the literature to provide some experience for clinical practitioners.
