Abstract

Testicular microlithiasis (TM) is a rare condition in which men have innumerable testicular calcifications. It is increasingly being reported on ultrasound. The published literature has reported an association between confirmed testicular malignancy and testicular microlithiasis. The relationship between TM and the risk of developing malignancy is unclear. The present paper reports a patient with a previously normal scrotal ultrasound except for bilateral sonographically detected TM who developed a testicular tumour. It also discusses the appropriate management of TM after reviewing the published literature.

摘要

睾丸微石症（TM）是一种罕见病症，男性患者会出现无数的睾丸钙化。超声检查对其的报道日益增多。已发表的文献报道了确诊的睾丸恶性肿瘤与睾丸微石症之间存在关联。TM与发生恶性肿瘤风险之间的关系尚不清楚。本文报告了一名患者，其阴囊超声检查此前一直正常，仅双侧超声检查发现有TM，后来该患者患上了睾丸肿瘤。本文还在回顾已发表文献后讨论了TM的恰当处理方法。
