van Casteren NJ et al. - Testicular microlithiasis (TM) has been associated with testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) in adolescents and adults and with its precursor carcinoma in situ (CIS). A clear definition of TM and the need for further diagnostics and follow-up is lacking. The algorithm suggests taking a testicular biopsy in a selected patient population with at least one additional risk factor for TGCT. A long-term active follow-up schedule, including ultrasonography and physical examinations, is not indicated in the remaining patients with TM.
