Abstract

A 35-year-old man consulted for calcified nodules of the scrotal skin. He complained of an impact on his sexual performance. The nodules progressively increased in size. He had no history of trauma or genitourinary or hormonal disorders. His physical examination revealed multiple bilateral calcified cutaneous lesions of the scrotum with no associated inflammation. The dermatoscopic examination noted erythema with telangiectatic vessels.
