“…Malacoplakia is another rare inflammatory disease of the testes which may sonographically mimic testis tumors. It is thought to develop secondary to chronic granulomatous inflammation due to chronic infection [ 21 ]. Malacoplakia is mostly detected in the bladder among the other organs in the genitourinary system [ 21 ].…”
