Abstract
A 56-year-old man presented with a 2-month history of a mass in the right epididymo-testicular region, which exhibited heterogeneous high avidity for 18F-FDG on PET/CT. Malignant tumor was highly suspected, leading to subsequent right orchiectomy and epididymectomy. Histopathological examination revealed the presence of characteristic Michaelis-Gutmann bodies within von Hansemann macrophages, confirming the diagnosis of malacoplakia.
