title: Testicular microlithiasis. A case report.
abstract: A 63-year-old man presented with bilateral testicular microlithiasis and right-sided epididymitis, the latter of which responded to antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drugs. Microlithiasis has been associated with nondescent, infection, neoplasia, and other pathologic conditions of the testicles, but there is no evidence that it is a premalignant condition. It is likely to be seen more often with the increasing use of scrotal ultrasonography.
