Abstract

Scrotal calcinosis (SC) is a benign disease characterized by multiple calcified nodules localized inscrotal dermis. Scrotal nodules develope slowly over many years and patients usually do not seekfor treatment, until they care about their appearance. Histopathologic evaluation reveals multiplecalcified nodules surrounded by a chronic granulomatous reaction including histiocytic giant cells.Numerous theories have been reported regarding the possible etiology of SC; the most popularones including dystrophic calcification of preexisting epithelial cysts and purely idiopathic origin.We report a case of 51 years old man with a rapid onset and spreading scrotal nodules in a period ofthree months, and discuss whether SC is idopathic or not. We observed three epithelial cysts and acalcified nodule with partially epithelial lining. Our findings support the theory that SC is the resultof the calcification of preexisting epithelial cysts. We think that histopathological findings vary withthe age of the cysts, and there might be a repetitious cause which leads to new developing activelesions. It is not surprising that because the lesions survive for many years and the treatment is usu- ally performed at late stages, lesions could not demonstrate epithelial component until there is anewly developing cyst.

Özet

krotal kalsinozis (SK) skrotum derisinde çok sayıda küçük kalsifik nodüllerle karakterli, nadir görü- len iyi seyirli bir hastalıktır. Nodüller zaman içinde sayıca ve boyut olarak artış gösterir. Hastalar ge- nellikle uzun seneler bu hastalıkla yaşarlar ve kozmetik kaygıları dışında doktora başvurmazlar. Lez- yonların histopatolojik incelemesinde, dermisde karakteristik amorf homojen kalsiyum depolanma- ları içeren globuler bazofilik nodüller ve bunları çevreleyen histiositik dev hücrelerin eşlik ettiği kro- nik granülomatöz inflamasyon izlenir. SK gelişimine ait birçok hipotez ortaya atılmıştır. Bunların enpopüler olanları epitelyal kist zemininde gelişmiş distrofik kalsifikasyon teorisi ile idyopatik etyolo- ji teorisidir. Bu yayında, tesbit edildiği andan itibaren 3 ay gibi kısa bir sürede hızla büyüyen skrotalnodüllere sahip 51 yaşında bir SK hastası sunmaktayız. Skrotal eksizyon materyelinin histopatolojikincelenmesinde, tipik SK lezyonlarına eşlik eden 3 adet küçük epitelyal kist ile bir kenarında epitelkomponenti içeren 1 adet kalsifik nodül izlenmiştir. Bulgularımız, kalsifik nodüllerin epidermal kist- lerin distrofik kalsifikasyonu ile geliştiği tezini destekler nitelikte olup, histopatolojik tablonun lez- yonun yaşına göre değiştiği anlaşılmaktadır. Nodüllerin zaman içinde sayısının artması altta yatannüks eden bir patolojinin varlığını düşündürmektedir. Bulgularımız, bu hazırlayıcı faktörün epitel- yal kistler olduğunu düşündürmüştür. SKde farklı safhalardaki lezyonların birlikte bulunması, sıklık- la kronik dönemde eksize edilmeleri nedeniyle de lezyonlarda epitelyal komponent izlenememesişaşırtıcı bir bulgu olmamalıdır.
