Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Chronic prostatitis syndrome presents with diverse symptoms, often lacking a clear etiology.
  • Scrotal masses can occur, but their association with prostatitis-like symptoms is uncommon.

Observation:

  • A 47-year-old male presented with a 4-year history of prostatitis-like symptoms.
  • Physical examination identified a firm nodule in the scrotum.

Findings:

  • Microscopic examination confirmed the nodule as scrotal calcinosis.
  • Surgical excision led to complete symptom resolution for at least 12 months.

Implications:

  • Scrotal calcinosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic prostatitis.
