Description
Summary:	To report an uncommon case of idiopathic calcinosis of the scrotum. A case of idiopathic scrotal calcinosis in a 50-year-old male who presented with multiple hard masses in the scrotum is described. Cytological (fine needle aspiration) and histological (biopsy and resection) analyses of these lesions were performed. Although the etiopathogenesis of scrotal calcinosis remains unknown, the involvement of a dystropic mechanism has recently been described. The usefulness of fine needle aspiration, a method that has gradually been included in the study of testicular pathology, is underscored.
