Abstract
Testicular microlithiasis is seen on ultrasound investigation of the testis. This article aims to review the history, prevalence, aetiology and current classification of this pathology. The association between testicular microlithiasis and other conditions such as male subfertility and testicular malignancy are also explored. An outline of recommended clinical management is provided from review of current literature and guidelines.
