To determine the prevalence of testicular microlithiasis (TM) in the contralateral testis of patients with unilateral testicular tumor, and evaluate the association of TM with carcinoma in situ (CIS) MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a period of 12 years, ultrasonography was performed in 41 patients with unilateral testicular tumor. TM was defined as multiple small hyperechogenic foci. Only images of the tumor-free testis were reviewed. In addition, archived biopsy specimens of the contralateral testicle were reviewed after immunostaining for placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) as a marker for CIS.
