Testicular microliths: their origin and structure

M Vegni-Talluri et al. J Urol. 1980 Jul.

Abstract

Light and electron microscopic studies were done on microliths in unilateral undescended testes to determine the origin and structure. The microliths seem to originate from degenerating intratubular cells and consist of a central calcified core surrounded by concentric layers of connective fibers.
