Epididymo-testicular malacoplakia--a case report

Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2006 Jul;49(3):413-5.

Abstract

Malacoplakia is one of the rare, chronic inflammatory disorders affecting the epididymis and testis. Diagnosis of the same is important as the treatment differs from the other granulomatous lesions in this area. We present a case of malacoplakia involving both the epididymis and testis with a brief review of literature.
