Abstract
- Scrotal calcinosis is a relatively common tumor of the male genitalia but there is controversy in the literature regarding its pathogenesis. The authors of many case reports debate whether the lesions are truly idiopathic or if they arise from other conditions. Only few cases of scrotal calcinosis have been proven to have an eccrine origin so far. Herein, we report a case of scrotal calcinosis originating from a milium-like syringoma in a male Korean patient.
