Testicular microlithiasis and concomitant testicular intraepithelial neoplasia.
We report a case of testicular microlithiasis developing during cancer follow-up in a previously normal testicle. Biopsy revealed testicular intraepithelial neoplasia which was treated with radiotherapy. We believe that especially in cancer follow-up newly developing microlithiasis must lead to biopsy to rule out otherwise undetectable germ cell neoplasia precursor.
