ABSTRACT
Malakoplakia is a very rare disease which affects middle-aged women and usually involves the urinary tract. Of these, the bladder is the most common site and the renal parenchyme is involved in 16%. It is a type of granulomatous inflammation in which the histiocyte contains distinct basophilic inclusion called Michaelis-Gutmann bodies. It may be caused by a defect of phagocytic activity of the lysosome. We experienced a cases of malakoplakia with duplex kidney in a 59-year old female, which was treated successfully with left nephrectomy and antibiotics. Herein we report this case with a brief review of literature.
