Thus, the management for incidentally discovered TM is still in debate, ranging from no follow-up to complete workups. [jim.bmj.com]

Reviews and studies published in multiple disciplines such as radiology, 17, 18 urology, 2, 13, 19 and pediatric surgery 18 suggest yearly ultrasound monitoring in addition to workup for testicular malignancy indicated by risk factors and symptomology [journals.sagepub.com]

TM has been reported to be associated with carcinoma in situ (CIS) and the development of second testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) after contralateral orchiectomy treatment for primary TGCT; however, no prospective studies have investigated the relationship [ascopubs.org]

Biopsy should be done only if detection of CIS will be followed with treatment. Treatment of CIS itself has swung from chemotherapy, radiotherapy and orchidectomy to active surveillance. [indianjurol.com]

Treatment and prognosis Testicular microlithiasis is in itself asymptomatic and benign. A relationship with testicular tumors, in particular germ cell tumors (GCT) is controversial. [radiopaedia.org]

You can help by adding to it. ( February 2019 ) Testicular ultrasound Management [ edit ] There is no cure or treatment for testicular microlithiasis, however, patients may be monitored via ultrasound to make sure that other conditions do not develop. [en.wikipedia.org]

Treatment and prognosis Testicular microlithiasis is in itself asymptomatic and benign. A relationship with testicular tumors, in particular germ cell tumors (GCT) is controversial. [radiopaedia.org]

These are useful serum markers in the diagnosis, prognosis, and follow-up of patients with germ cell tumors [ 5 ]. The majority of the EGCTs occur in men, except benign mature teratoma, which occurs with equal frequency in men and women. [karger.com]

The etiology of our patient’s enlarged scrotum was unclear but was unlikely related to the epididymal cysts or testicular microlithiasis. [consultant360.com]

This is a condition of unknown etiology; however, in many cases it may be associated with cryptorchidism, Klinefelter syndrome, Down syndrome, varicocele, testicular torsion and male pseudohermaphroditism. [content.sciendo.com]

The association with testicular cancer is a cause of concern for this uncommon lesion of unclear etiology. [indianjurol.com]
