bilateral renal parenchymal Malacoplakia a case report
The Journal of Urology, 1992Co-Authors: Gary Hurwitz, Eric Reimund, Krishnarao Moparty, Wayne J G HellstromAbstract:AbstractHistological examination of the radical nephrectomy and renal biopsy specimens in a 49-year-old woman revealed bilateral renal Malacoplakia. The literature reports bilateral renal Malacoplakia to be uniformly fatal. The preoperative diagnosis is based upon patient presentation and imaging studies. Insights into the bacterial etiology of this systemic disease are presented.

fine needle aspiration cytology of Malacoplakia of the thyroid a case report
Acta Cytologica, 1996Co-Authors: P B Jeffrey, P Chandrasoma, T GreavesAbstract:BACKGROUND : Malacoplakia was first described by Michaelis and Gutmann in 1902 and further characterized by Von Hansemann, who coined the term Malacoplakia to describe the soft, yellow-tan, raised plaques he encountered in a case involving the urinary bladder. 11 CASE : Fine needle aspiration cytology of a case of Malacoplakia of the thyroid gland was performed on a 60-year-old woman. Fine needle aspiration demonstrated histiocytes with abundant granular cytoplasm that were eosinophilic with hematoxylin-eosin stain. Many of the cells contained numerous round, regular-appearing inclusions, which ranged in size from 4 to 10 μm in diameter. Many of these inclusions demonstrated the characteristic concentric appearance of Michaelis-Gutmann bodies. The inclusions were strongly positive for periodic acid-Schiff stain and stained weakly with Von Kossa stain. Clinically and radiologically the lesion mimicked a malignant neoplasm by virtue of its large size and destruction of adjacent cervical vertebrae. The diagnosis was ascertained only after surgical excision. CONCLUSION : This is the first report of fine needle aspiration cytology of Malacoplakia of the thyroid. The case demonstrates how difficult it may be to diagnose this rare entity, regardless of its characteristic features. It also underscores the point that Malacoplakia may occur anywhere in the body and should always be considered when round, concentric intracytoplasmic inclusions are seen within histiocytes.

renal parenchymal Malacoplakia a rare cause of arf with a review of recent literature
American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2003Co-Authors: W H Kung, Robert Li, Kwok Wah ChanAbstract:Abstract Renal parenchymal Malacoplakia is a rare cause of acute renal failure. Traditionally, it was associated with a high mortality rate and commonly resulted in renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy. The authors report on a 70-year-old woman who presented with acute renal failure caused by renal parenchymal Malacoplakia. Her renal function recovered after levofloxacin treatment. All cases reported in the English-language literature since 1990, when fluoroquinolone was first used to treat Malacoplakia, were reviewed. Although some patients still had renal failure, with renal biopsy and fluoroquinolone treatment, the patient mortality rate from renal parenchymal Malacoplakia is remarkably low.

renal Malacoplakia with papillary necrosis and renal failure
American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 1992Co-Authors: Michele H Mokrzycki, Harold Yamase, Orly F KohnAbstract:Abstract Renal parenchymal Malacoplakia is a rare cause of renal failure. Patients presenting with renal failure carry a poor prognosis, the majority either dying or requiring chronic dialysis. In this report, we describe an alcoholic man who presented with renal failure due to bilateral renal parenchymal Malacoplakia and papillary necrosis. The patient, who initially required dialysis, partially recovered renal function following prolonged antibiotic treatment with a fluoroquinolone antibiotic.
