Testicular microlithiasis corresponds to calcifications in the lumen of seminiferous tubules. This rare condition, primarily diagnosed histologically, is usually discovered on scrotal ultrasonography. The characteristic appearance combines multiple microscopic hyperechoic areas disseminated bilaterally throughout the testicular parenchyma. The coexistence of microlithiasis and testicular neoplasms has been described and raises the problem of the therapeutic approach following incidental discovery on scrotal ultrasonography performed for other reasons. The authors report a case of testicular microlithiasis discovered on ultrasonography performed after testicular trauma.
