Abstract:
This report deals with a case of malakoplakia of urinary bladder in a 68 year old female. The lesion of malakoplakia has been misdiagnosed as a neoplasm on several occasions in other institutes. This disease has been reported seldomly, and many urologists and pathologists alike have been unfamiliar to the lesion. An emphasis on the clinicopathologic features is made in order to prevent the serious misdiagnosis. The pertinent literatures are reviewed.
