We report on a case of malacoplakia involving testis and epididymis in 63-year-old man. The lesion had a characteristic yellow nodular gross appearance and was composed of histiocytes, neutrophils and plasma cells. Calcospherules (Michaelis-Gutmann bodies) are prominent. The findings are compatible with the generally accepted concept that malacoplakia represents a peculiar inflammatory process of unknown etiology. The relationship between testicular malacoplakia and granulomatous orchitis is discussed.

We report on a 62-year-old female patient with melena in which polypoid lesions of the cecum were discovered endoscopically. Histological examination of mucosal biopsies revealed an inflammatory process with lots of histiocytes and so-called Michaelis-Gutmann bodies, leading to the diagnosis of a malakoplakia of the colon. No other organs were found affected.

The histological and ultrastructural features of a case of malakoplakia affecting the testis and the epididymis of a 53-year-old man are described. Light microscopy shows a granulomatous inflammatory process, characterized by the accumulation of large mononuclear cells with abundant granular cytoplasm and PAS-positive calcific intracytoplasmic inclusions (so-called Michaelis-Gutman bodies). On E.

First leukocytes, then granulation tissue composed mainly of characteristic macrophages, the so-called Hansemann cells, appeared around the endotoxin-antigen mass.
