HERNANDEZ HERNANDEZ, José Severino et al. Genitourinary echography alterations in the pseudoxanthoma elasticum. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2010, vol.82, n.3, pp. 83-88. ISSN 1561-3119.

This is the case of a black male sex patient aged 13 diagnosed with elastic. Renal and testicular ultrasonographic study showed echo-refractive images in testes and kidneys without neither acoustic shadow nor alterations of renal function or of the urinary sediment. There was not a family history of cutaneous lesions related with this entity. These renal and testicular findings have been documented in the medical literature, thus, authors recommended that its popularization is interesting since it has been proposed that they are part of the disease phenotype.

Palavras-chave : Pseudoxanthoma elasticum; renal and testicular echo-refractive images; microlithiasis.
