Abstract
Calcinosis cutis is an abnormal condition characterised by oval shaped nodules over the surface of the scrotum. The cause and pathogenesis of these benign nodules is still under debate. The aim of this case study is to understand the anatomy, pathology and clinical aspects of this condition. In this case report we report a calcinosis cutis of the scrotum.
