Idiopathic calcinosis cutis involving the breast is a rare condition. Previously reported cases were detected by mammography without specific cutaneous findings. We report a case of idiopathic calcinosis of the areola of the nipple in a 32‐year‐old Korean woman that has unique clinical features resembling scrotal calcinosis.
