Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Testicular microlithiasis is a rare condition often asymptomatic and bilateral.
  • A significant association (up to 40%) between testicular microlithiasis and testicular tumors has been reported.

Observation:

  • An 11-year-old boy presented with a four-month history of a left testicular mass.
  • Sonography revealed an increased left testis volume and bilateral testicular microlithiasis.

Findings:

  • Testicular biopsy confirmed a Sertoli cell tumor.
  • The patient underwent a left radical orquidectomy.

Implications:

  • Testicular cancer is highly curable with early detection and treatment.
