[Testicular microlithiasis. Clinical significance and therapeutic implications]. / Microlitiasis testicular. Significado clínico e implicaciones terapéuticas.

ABSTRACT

Testicular microlithiasis is a rare condition usually diagnosed by scrotal ultrasound and associated with pathology of the testis. We report two pediatric cases presented with acute scrotum. Testicular sonography revealed significant bilateral testicular microlithiasis. One case was diagnosed as having torsion of the right testis and the other case as orchiepididymitis. A careful review of the literature is made and a periodic follow-up of this disease is advocated.
