Abstract
Light microscopic and EM studies were done on microliths in unilateral undescended testes of pubertal cryptorchid boys to determine their origin and structure. The microliths to originate from degenerating intratubular cells and consist of a central calcified core surrounded by concentric layers of connective fibers.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
