RESUMO
We have described a case of malacoplakia presenting with uremia in a young, previously healthy black man. Malacoplakia was found in the bladder over both ureteral orifices, causing obstruction. The patient was treated with antibiotics, a percutaneous nephrostomy tube, and finally with transurethral resection of the malacoplakia over the ureteral orifices. The patient's renal function improved dramatically and he is presently asymptomatic.

We reviewed 59 cases of urethral stricture diseases treated at Charity Hospital of Louisiana in New Orleans from 1965 to 1975 to determine whether surgery was a feasible alternative to repeated urethral dilatations. Five different surgical procedures were done: internal urethrotomy, Johanson-Leadbetter, patch-graft, Turner-Warwich, and dismembered technics. Results of internal urethrotomy were poor, but the other procedures had an overall success of 72 percent.
