TESTICULAR MICROLITHIASIS AND ITS RELATION TO TESTICULAR CANCER ON ULTRASOUND FINDINGS OF SYMPTOMATIC MEN

Abstract

Symptomatic patients with TM exhibited an incidence of testicular neoplasm greater than that of the general population. An algorithm for the surveillance of patients with TM should be developed. The fact that our patient population was symptomatic at referral preselected toward a higher incidence of TM and testicular neoplasm compared to accepted incidence in the general population. Further investigation will require a multicenter trial to generate an adequate patient pool due to the low incidence of TM and testicular malignancy.
