Presentation
Incidental finding during work-up for a unilateral undescended testis.
Patient Data
Age: 8 years
Gender: Male
From the case:
Testicular microlithiasis
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/142457/annotated_viewer_json?_c=1721987011\u0026lang=us"}
Ultrasound confirmed a unilateral, right, undescended testis within the inguinal canal.
The left testis is normally descended.
Bilateral testicular microlithiasis, with the comet tail artifact especially on the left.

The cine loop demonstrates the extensive left testicular microlithiasis and associated comet tail artifact.
Case Discussion
Diffuse testicular microlithiasis, left greater than the right. The right testis is further undescended.
The comet tail artifact is well appreciated in the cine loop.
