Idiopathic scrotal calcinosis (ISC) is a benign, rare condition with incompletely elucidated etiology. It is clinically characterized by the presence of multiple calcified, asymptomatic nodules, located in the scrotum. The onset of the disease occurs during childhood or young adulthood. We present the case of a patient with idiopathic scrotal calcinosis with onset around the age of 20 years. The peculiarity of the case lies in the rarity of this condition and the fact that the patient came to our clinic about 25 years after the onset of his condition, even though he had multiple nodules, which makes it difficult to diagnose and complicates the promptness of surgery.
