Department of Pathology, Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined 14 adult men with scrotal calcinosis to understand its clinicopathological features and potential causes, finding that it typically appears as hard nodules on the scrotum.
- The analysis included comparisons with 81 cases of extrascrotal calcinosis and a large group of patients with epidermoid cysts, suggesting that scrotal calcinosis may arise from epidermoid cysts rather than being idiopathic.
- The disease is characterized by calcium deposits in the skin and is generally asymptomatic, with surgical excision being an effective treatment.

Nephrology, Wellstar Spalding Medical Center, Griffin, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Sarcoidosis is an unknown multi-system disease characterized by granulomas, primarily seen in the lungs but can also cause lymph node issues and rarely affects the kidneys.
- A case study of a 59-year-old man reveals that despite normal chest imaging, he was diagnosed with sarcoidosis due to symptoms like renal failure and the presence of noncaseating granulomas in a skin biopsy.
- The report emphasizes that sarcoidosis can present without lung symptoms, suggesting that doctors should consider it when diagnosing unexplained high calcium levels, even in the absence of typical lung or skin signs.

Article Synopsis
- Calcinosis cutis has five types (dystrophic, metastatic, idiopathic, iatrogenic, calciphylaxis) and can be misdiagnosed as cancer, making management difficult.
- A study of 7 patients, treated between 2013-2022, highlighted successful diagnoses and complete mass excisions without significant complications, leading to full recovery.
- The use of imaging techniques (X-rays, ultrasound, CT, MRI) was crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment, promoting safer, less invasive procedures and preventing recurrences.

Article Synopsis
- Calcinosis cutis is the buildup of calcium in the skin, mainly due to chronic inflammation linked with collagen issues. !* -
- Surgical options exist, but evidence for effective treatments is limited; intravenous sodium thiosulfate has shown promise in treating calciphylaxis and may help stabilize dystrophic calcinosis cutis in some cases. !* -
- Higher skin absorption of sodium thiosulfate may enhance its effectiveness, supported by its success in calciphylaxis treatment according to previous reports. !*
