title: [A case of malakoplakia of the testis and epididymis].
abstract: A forty-two year-old man with left epididymo-testicular malakoplakia was reported. Thirty-two cases of testicular malakoplakia with (5 cases) and without (27 cases) epididymal malakoplakia were reviewed. The mean age was 48. 2 year-old. Two-thirds of the cases suffered from right side involvement. All cases except a few cases received orchiectomy within 2.6 months on average from the onset of the symptoms. Diabetes mellitus, malignant diseases, or chronic renal failure seem to have a causal relation to the development of testicular malakoplakia. Six cases of epididymal malakoplakia were also reviewed.
