|
Subepidermal calcified nodule and idiopathic calcinosis of scrotum are subdivisions of the calcinosis cutis which calcium salt is deposited abnormally in skin and subcutaneous layer.
Author summarized the clinico-histopathological characteristics of 21 cases of subepidermal calcified nodule and 2 cases of idiopathic calcinosis of scrotum at Korea University Hospital from January, 1970 to February, 1982.
The results were as follows:
1. Incidence was I case among the about 3,000 surgical specimens.
2. Range of age of subepidermal calcified nodule was 14 to 72 years old and idiopathic calcinosis of scrotum was 25 years old in all cases.
3. Subepidermal calcified nodule occured equally in both sexes.
4. Clinical duration of subepidermal calcified nodule was 4 months to 6 years and there was no co-relation between clinical duration and size of tumor.
5. The gluteal region was the most frequent location of subepidermal calcified nodule and it was found on the trunk, extremities and face in descending order.
6. Subepidermal calcified nodule was single nodule in all cases, but idiopathic calcinosis of scrotum revealed two nodules in 50%, and the size of tumor ranged from 0.2cm to 6.0cm in diameter, but the most tumors measured 1.0 to 2.0cm in diameter.
7. Histopathologically subepidermal calcified nodule was located in dermal layer mostly.
8. Calcification was noted in all cases and foreign body giant cell was noted in most.
9. There was no recurrence or malignant change with simple surgical excision in all cases.
