Scrotal calcinosis- A rare condition diagnosed on FNAC

Abstract

Scrotal calcinosis is a rare condition characterised by single or multiple hard, painless nodules in the scrotal skin. It is uncommon and subtype of calcinosis cutis. It appears mainly in men aged 20‑40 years of age as hard, yellowish nodules varying in size (1 mm to several centimetres). They are usually asymptomatic; however, may be complicated with heaviness, itching or discharge. FNAC (Fine needle aspiration cytology) can prove to be a useful tool for diagnosis of this rare disorder. A diagnosis by FNAC may at times be comforting for the patient and the treating Doctor and can help avoid unnecessary surgery. Reports on this issue are sparse and thus we are reporting uncommon condition of scrotal calcinosis diagnosed on FNAC rarely used to diagnose this condition.
