Abstract:
We report the case of a 49-years-old man, who after orchiectomy is diagnosed of malakoplakia of the scrotal covers with intact testicle. The histopathology exam shows the pathognomonic Michaelis-Gutmann bodies involving scrotal covers, fibroadipose soft tissues and deep dermis.
Malakoplakia is an unusual benign chronic inflammatory disease. Predominantly affects the genitourinary system in more than 60% of cases, therefore it is important for urologist to know it.
In relation to a clinical case, and since this is the first case of scrotal malakoplakia with intact testicle, we perform a review of the published literature on this pathology.
