Abstract: Scrotal calculi correspond to the presence of freely floating or located calcifications between the layers of the tunica vaginalis of the testes. It’s a rare discovery with a reported incidence ranging between 1,5 % and 3 %. They are mostly incidental finding in patients during scrotal ultrasound examination and easily recognized due to the hyperechoic nature of the calcification which causes a discrete acoustic shadow. The etiology of scrotal calculi is unclear. literature data report a high association between hydrocele and scrotal calculi suggesting its role in the genesis of scrotal calculi by crystallization of contains of the scrotal fluid.
