ABSTRACT
Malacoplakia is an uncommon granulomatous inflammatory disease, which predomina- ntly affected the urinary tract, particularly the urinary bladder. The prostatic involve- ment of malacoplakia is extremely rare and may clinically mimic prostate cancer. A correct diagnosis of malacoplakia can be made by histopathologic findings characterized by accumulations of macrophages containing typical intracytoplasmic inclusions(Michael is-Gutmann bodies). We report a case of prostatic malacoplakia, which was incidentally found in prostate biopsy performed to confirm clinically suspected prostate cancer.
