Abstract

Testicular microlithiasis is a disease in which, according to the data of radiological research, multiple intra - testicular calcifications are detected. The diagnostic criterion is the presence of five or more hyperechoic inclusions in the testicular parenchyma, each not exceeding 3 mm in size. Recently, a lot of attention has been paid to testicular microlitasis, since more and more data are accumulating, indicating that pathology can serve as a predictor of testicular malignant neoplasms. To detect neoplasms early, patients diagnosed with testicular microlithiasis should undergo an annual ultrasound examination of the testicles and determine the concentration of tumor markers.
