To evaluate the clinical and pathological significance of scrotal calcifications

1221 patients were reviewed retrospectively in ours hospitals between genuary-02 and march-07.Scrotal calcifications were diagnosed by sonographic criteria in 128 patients.Size,number and location(testicular or extratesticular)were determined. 77 extratesticular calcifications:18 in epididymis,50 tunica vaginalis,9 appendages. 51 intratesticular calcifications:40 microlitiasis,9 tumors(1 seminoma,1 teratocarcinoma,3 ca.embrionary,3 fibrosis,1 epidermoid testicular cyst),2 old hematoma

Extratesticular calcifications are usually benign and related to previous inflammatory diseases.No changes were seen in follow-up examinations. Intratesticular calcifications particularly if multiple and grouped, were considered highly suspicious for malignancy, and surgery was mandatory
