A32-YEAR-OLD MAN PRESENTED TO THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT WITH dyspnea and hemoptysis. On physical examination, yellowish scrotal nodules were noted incidentally (Panel A). The man reported that they had been developing over the past 12 years. They were painless, progressively enlarging, and firm and were consistent with a clinical diagnosis of scrotal calcinosis. Contrast-enhanced computed tomographic (CT) imaging revealed multiple pulmonary emboli, and systemic anticoagulant therapy was administered. CT images of the pelvis incidentally revealed multiple calcified masses in the subcutaneous tissue of the scrotum, ranging from 3 mm to 8 mm in diameter (Panel B, arrow).
