阴囊结石的临床研究进展

Scrotal calculi: Advances in clinical research

阴囊结石为位于睾丸外阴囊内,即睾丸鞘膜脏、壁层之间(即睾丸鞘膜腔)的可自由移动的钙化小体或结石,属于良性病变,在临床上非常少见,文献报道甚少,且多为个案报道。阴囊结石多为超声检查时偶然发现,目前随着高频超声的应用,阴囊结石的检出率正在逐渐增高。本文就阴囊结石的病因机制、临床表现、诊断与治疗等方面研究进展进行综述。

Scrotal calculi are freely mobile calcified bodies or stones located between the layers of the tunica vaginalis of the testis. The literature on this relatively rare benign lesion consists mostly of case reports. In most cases,scrotal calculi are found incidentally during ultrasound examination. Now with the application of high-frequency ultrasonography,the detection rate of scrotal calculi is gradually increasing. This article summarizes the etiology,pathogenesis,clinical manifestations,diagnosis,and treatment of scrotal calculi.
