2021 SEP 10 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Health & Medicine Week -- Investigators discuss new findings in urology. According to news reporting originating from the Department of Urology by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Testicular microlithiasis in children was defined for the first time in 1961 based on histological criteria."

The news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Department of Urology: "There should be more than 5 calcifications per testicle in order to say that the patient has testicular microlithiasis. It has three different echographic grades depending on the number of calcifications. However, this disease is uncommon, with inaccurate prevalence and no certain information about its evolution or etiology. Main body We studied 4 clinical cases of children diagnosed with testicular microlithiasis, in light of the conducted review of the literature, and we defined the characteristics of this disease and proposed a management and monitoring framework based on the clinical observations."

According to the news reporters, the research concluded: "There is a link between testicular microlithiasis and testicular cancer. Therefore, it is recommended to make a regular follow-up of children who present testicular microlithiasis with the presence of risk factors."
