Abstract :
Idiopathic calcinosis cutis is usually localized to a specific area such as the genital area or chest.
Scrotal calcinosis is a rare, benign entity defined as the presence of multiple
calcified nodules
within the scrota
l skin.
The cause is not well defined.
In this case study surgical management and
its
Ayurvedic
review of scrotal calcinosis is explained. This is a case of 40 years old male patient
with complaints of multiple whitish nodules at scrotal skin since 4 years. There was no evidence
of any cystic swelling around calcified Nodule. Ideally for scrotal cal
cinosis the choice of
treatment is excision of calcinosis along with skin followed by suturing or skin graft. As per
Ayurveda
, the word
Granthi
is derived from word
granthitha
which literary means knotted or filled
with. The etiological factors constitute
the vitiated
doshas
which in turn affect the blood, muscular
tissue and fatty tissue. In this case,
Kapha
slowly accumulates at the site were muscular and fatty
tissue are vitiated and gives rise to round, elevated and slightly nodular swelling which is te
rmed
as
Kaphaja
Granthi
which is correlated with
Scrotal calcinosis.
