ABSTRACT
Malakoplakia is an uncommon granulomatous inflammatory disease that most often involves the urinary tract. Typically, there is an associated urinary tract infection (UTI) by coliform organisms. Histologically, the Michaelis-Gutmann bodies are the hallmark of this disease. Radiographically, malakoplakia may simulate other inflammatory processes or even neoplasm as demonstrated in these two cases.
