Polypoid scrotal calcinosis: an uncommon variant of scrotal calcinosis.

Scrotal calcinosis is a rare condition characterized by multiple calcified nodules within scrotal skin. To our knowledge, only 67 cases have been reported to date. The etiology has been widely disputed and is viewed by many to be idiopathic. We describe a case of "idiopathic" scrotal calcinosis that not only presents a distinctly unusual clinical appearance, but also shows that at least some cases of this disease occur in association with dystrophic calcification of epidermal (follicular) cysts.

[Peri-articular calcinosis. Tumor simulating calcinosis and differential diagnosis].

The disease of tumorous calcinosis is presented in order to one case and a survey of literature. The epidemiology and etiology are discussed, because of a rare manifestation of metabolic disorders. The differential diagnosis includes genetic disorders, recurrent soft-tissue trauma and renal failure. The clinical symptoms like swelling or deficit of function as well as radiologic appearances may lead to the diagnosis. The way of treatment is given by radical excision and metabolic supervision. The multiloculated presentation of periarticular, dental, subcutaneous and other lesions is pointed out.

Idiopathic vulvar calcinosis: the counterpart of idiopathic scrotal calcinosis.

An asymptomatic nodule over the right labium majus of a 13-year-old girl is described. Examination of an excisional biopsy specimen revealed a well-circumscribed lobular mass of calcium deposits. No underlying laboratory abnormalities were detected. The lesion most likely represents the female counterpart of idiopathic scrotal calcinosis.

[Differences between degenerative (non-inflammatory) calcinosis- related stenosis of the aortic valve and the rheumatic calcinosis- induced aortic valve stenosis].

Calcified aortic valves were detected in 109 patients studied in hospital by an echocardiographic method (2D- and M-scanning). It was found that, unlike rheumatism, calcification starting in the aortic annulus and semilunar bases might result in formation of degenerative (non-inflammatory) calcific aortic stenosis. The latter differs from rheumatic aortic stenosis in commissural fusions. The authors defined clinical and echocardiographic differentially diagnostic criteria for degenerative (non-inflammatory) and rheumatic (inflammatory) calcific aortic stenosis. They also discussed pathogenetic aspects of aortic valve calcification and problems of terminology.

[Calcinosis cutis: cutaneous manifestations of generalized calcinosis in renal hyperparathyroidism].

In 2 female patients suffering from chronic renal insufficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation was performed, but shortly afterwards tertiary hyperparathyroidism developed. Together with numerous generalized metastatic foci of severe smooth tissue calcification, extensive calcification of the skin occurred. Some of the hard painful areas with papules, nodules and large plaques of calcium deposits were inflamed and ulcerated, and the histological picture was that of severe disseminated calcification of the middle and deep reticular dermis, spreading over into the subcutaneous adipose tissue. Conventional X-ray examinations and computer tomography revealed large asymmetrical areas of bone-dense calcification of the soft tissue. After total excision of the autografts the severe calcifications of the skin diminished or disappeared completely.
