ABSTRACT
Malacoplakia is a rare granulomatous inflammatory disease that most frequently involves the urinary tract, particularly the urinary bladder and may involve the testis, epididymis, lung, bone, colon, prostate, female genital organs, and the retroperitoneum, etc. A malacoplakia of the prostate is a very rare disease that is associated with a chronic urinary tract infection. It is often misinterpreted as granulomatous prostatitis, and may clinically mimic prostate cancer. The major cellular component of malacoplakia is the macrophage and the diagnostic hallmark is a characteristic inclusion, the Michaelis-Gutmann body. We recently experienced a case of malakoplakia of the prostate in a 74-year-old man, that was found incidentally in a TRUS-guided biopsy to confirm a suspected prostate cancer.
