Testicular microlithiasis.
Testicular microlithiasis is an uncommon condition that is characterized by calcifications within the lumina of seminiferous tubules. It is usually an incidental finding on high frequency scrotal sonography. Testicular microlithiasis is a benign condition but is associated with testicular malignancies. Recent reports support this association and suggest regular follow-up in these patients.
