A Rare Case of Calcification of the Vas Deferens
Abstract
Calcification of the vas deferens (VD) is a rare disease with unknown etiology and unclear clinical significance. A rare observation of calcification of SVP patient 57 years of age suffering from insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and secondary hyperparathyroidism is described. Calcification VD proceeded latent, combined with nephrocalcinosis and pankreatolithiasis and was found incidentally during a CT scan. The possibility of calcification of VD must be considered when conducting radiation studies of patients with diabetes mellitus and secondary hyperparathyroidism
