Testicular microlithiasis is a rare condition that has characteristic sonographic and histologic features. It is often associated with premalignant changes and malignant neoplasms of the testes. We report a case of testicular microlithiasis associated with teratocarcinoma and intratubular germ cell neoplasia. Three previously reported cases documented development of malignant germ cell tumor during the clinical follow-up period of patients with testicular microlithiasis. We think that testicular microlithiasis is strongly associated with testicular neoplasms, and that coexistence of intratubular germ cell neoplasia and malignant germ cell tumors with testicular microlithiasis is common.
睾丸微石症是一种罕见病症，具有特征性的超声和组织学表现。它常与睾丸的癌前病变和恶性肿瘤相关。我们报告一例与畸胎癌和管内生殖细胞瘤相关的睾丸微石症病例。之前报道的三例病例记录了睾丸微石症患者在临床随访期间发生恶性生殖细胞肿瘤的情况。我们认为睾丸微石症与睾丸肿瘤密切相关，并且管内生殖细胞瘤和恶性生殖细胞肿瘤与睾丸微石症共存很常见。
