Testicular Calcification Management

Risk Assessment

• Testicular calcifications alone are not reliable indicators for malignancy risk 1
• The presence of cryptorchidism (undescended testicle) is a risk factor for testicular cancer 2
• A family history of testicular cancer and prior testicular cancer are risk factors for testicular cancer 3
• Testicular atrophy is a risk factor for testicular cancer 1

Recommended Management

• Patient education on regular testicular self-examination is recommended for patients with an isolated 0.1 cm calcification without other risk factors 2
• Consider referral to urology for further evaluation if the patient has additional risk factors (cryptorchidism, family history of testicular cancer, etc.) 1
