Résumé

Dystrophic calcified nodule of the testis was first reported by Minkowitz and
colleagues in 1965, with few subsequent reports. The etiology of this lesion is
controversial and unknown partly owing to its rarity. We report the case of a
29-year-old man who presented with generalized right testicular pain. His ultrasound
demonstrated a discrete calcified lesion. A right radical orchiectomy
was performed identifying a 1.8 × 0.8 × 0.9-cm intratesticular calcific lesion with
no evidence of intratubular germ cell tumour and negative tumour markers.
