目的　探讨青少年睾丸微石症 (TM)的超声表现与临床意义。方法　应用高频超声检查 ,同时确定有无其它阴囊疾病 ,追踪病史。结果　青少年TM超声表现与成人相同 ,都表现为双侧睾丸内弥漫、散在、对称的直径在 2mm左右的无声影小光点。睾丸大小与正常者无明显差异 (P >0 .0 5 )。病理改变为曲细精管内脱落的上皮细胞、糖蛋白、沉积的胶原纤维形成的钙化碎屑。结论　青少年TM无特异症状和体征 ,超声检查能确诊。定期随访可预测疾病的发展

Ultrasound Features and Clinical Significance of Teenager Testicular Microlithiasis:a Report of Three Cases

Objective This study reported the ultrasonic features and clinical significance of three cases of testiculr microlithiasis (TM) in teenager. Metheds High frequency scrotal ultrasonography was performed in three teenagers with TM, with mean age of 15. Related identification other scrotal diseases and history were traced.Results Ultrasound characteristics of TM in teenagers were found similar to adult TM. Unique diffused and bilateral minute echogenic lesions, smaller than 2 mm, no acoustic shadow, were scattered within testicular parenchyma. The testicular size of TM had no difference when compared with that of the normal control (P>0.05). Deciduous epithelial cell, glycoprotein, collagen fiber, calcification debris in the seminiferous tubules were found in pathology.Conclusion TM in teenagers was presented with no specific symptoms and signs. Ultrasonography and follow-up were critical in final diagnosis and progress of TM.
