Dr i had a testicular microlithasis.when i asked my urologist he said don't worry it is a deposit of calcium.some says it is a cancer please clearify it?

Not cancer: Testicular microlithiasis is a controversial entity which may increase risk of getting testicular cancer. It is not cancerous itself. In the absence of lab tests or signs/symptoms of testicular problems a reasonable plan is followup ultrasound in 1 year.
