Summary
A 56-year-old man presented with a painless scrotal lump, enlarging over the preceding 1 month. The lump was roughly 1 cm in size, and located in his left hemiscrotum and separate from the testis. An ultrasound revealed an echogenic focus with dystrophic tissue calcification. Subsequent surgical excision and histopathological analysis revealed it to be late-stage myositis ossificans, a benign, extraosseous formation of the bone or cartilage. We report of only the second described case of myositis ossificans of the spermatic cord in the literature to date.
