Dystrophic calcified nodule of the testicle: a case report

Abstract

Dystrophic calcified nodule of the testis was first reported by Minkowitz andcolleagues in 1965, with few subsequent reports. The etiology of this lesion iscontroversial and unknown partly owing to its rarity. We report the case of a29-year-old man who presented with generalized right testicular pain. His ultrasounddemonstrated a discrete calcified lesion. A right radical orchiectomywas performed identifying a 1.8 × 0.8 × 0.9-cm intratesticular calcific lesion withno evidence of intratubular germ cell tumour and negative tumour markers.
