Relapsing idiopathic scrotal calcinosis

Idiopathic scrotal calcinosis is a rare and benign disease of the scrotum which is described in all age groups. it was initially first defined by lewinski in 1883. although many mechanisms have been proposed in the pathogenesis, underlying mechanisms are still controversial at the present time. currently, the best therapeutic approach is the surgical removal of the scrotum without disrupting its integrity. although it is indicated in literature that its recurrence is still controversial, we have observed relapse two times in our 41 year-old male patient following surgery at the 19th and 33rd months. we have confirmed recurrence with clinical and pathological assessments. idiopathic scrotal calcinosis may recur both clinically and pathologically in the long term follow up. recurrence should be confirmed with post-surgical long term follow up in larger series.
