Sonographic evaluation is the gold standard in diagnosing of testicular microlithiasis, the nature of which has raised controversy in opinions regarding its premalignant or benign tendency. Testicular microlithiasis is often an incidental finding on sonographic examination with indications for other disease processes, and it may or may not require additional follow-up. This pathology has raised equal interest among domestic and foreign researchers, and studies have been performed on both adult and pediatric populations, yet there is no standard recommendation for follow-up care of testicular microlithiasis. Isolated testicular microlithiasis and that with additional risk factors may require different approaches to testing and care. In this publication, a case study is reviewed and two approaches to follow-up care of testicular microlithiasis based on the associated risk factors or a lack of thereof are discussed.

Iris pigment epithelial (IPE) cysts are a subset of iris cysts that arise from the IPE. They are spontaneously erupting epithelial-lined cavities that are found in various anatomic locations of the iris, including the iris pupillary margin, midzone, periphery, and free floating in the vitreous or anterior chamber. We report the case of an asymptomatic 13-year-old boy with an incidental finding of a dislodged anterior chamber cyst diagnosed on routine examination. Modern multimodal image analysis of the cyst including anterior segment optical coherence tomography and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) was utilized to characterize the microstructural anatomy of the lesion. The patient was managed conservatively without complications. Cysts of the IPE typically do not affect vision or ocular health and can be monitored and observed after ascertaining no associated malignancy. Initial diagnostic investigation can include UBM and anterior segment optical coherence tomography. Intervention should be reserved only for cases where the cyst growth leads to obstruction of the visual axis and/or other secondary complications.
