Testicular microlithiasis is an imaging entity of the testicle with questionable significance as a marker for testicular cancer. In 2001 we reported on a large prospective screening study establishing the prevalence of testicular microlithiasis to be 5.6% in a healthy asymptomatic population of Army volunteers 18 to 35 years old. In contrast, testicular cancer develops in only 5 of 100,000 men. Two-year followup of 63 of the 84 patients with testicular microlithiasis showed that none of these men had testicular cancer or scrotal masses. Here we report the 5-year followup in this cohort of men with testicular microlithiasis at risk for testicular cancer.
