Abstract:Objective This paper aimed to explore ultrasonic manifestation and the correlation between
testicular microlithiasis (TM) and variclcele (VC). Methods Retrospectively analyzed sonogram of
109 patients with TM and VC, and divided into the classic testicular microlithiasis (CTM) and limit
testicular microlithiasis (LTM) according to the sonogram of the TM, CTM group 35 cases, LTM group
74 examples. The VC sonogram was divided into subclinical varices (SVC) group 20 cases, VC Ⅰ group
45 cases, VC Ⅱ 24 cases and VC Ⅲ group 20 cases. Application of the ultrasound measured the left and
right VC Valsalva test the largest diameter (DV), to analyze the correlation between TM parting with
VC grading. Results The DV of the right VC was (0.22±0.05) cm, and of the left VC is (0.22±0.05) cm.
There were no significant statistical difference between the two groups (t=-6.141, P=0.000); there was
no significant statistical difference between TM parting with VC grading (χ2=3.225, P=0.532; r=-0.01,
P=0.916); TM (CTM group, LTM group) and VC (left and right sides of VC) of the DV had a significant
difference (F=12.375, P=0.000); the DV of VC between the right and left comparison was significantly
different in CTM and LTM (P=0.005). Conclusion The DV of left side in patients with TM and VC was
significantly larger than that of right side, and there was no clear correlation between TM and VC.
