Idiopathic calcinois of the scrotum which was described by Shapiro et al. in 1970 is a rare cutaneous disorder and it seems that this is the first case reporting in Korean literature.
A 26-year old male was well until age 25 when a few, small nodule developed on the scrotal area and, thereafter, have increased in the numbers and size of the nodules progressively.
The skin lessions showed multiple, yellowish, firm, round, smooth nodul ranging in size from that of the head of a pin to that of a pea.
Clinically they seemed to be steatoma, but histologic findings showed several islands of calcified amorphous material without any evidence of residual cysts.
He appeared to be in good general health and had an apparently normal skin except for his scrotum.
