Abstract
|
|
|
Since Michaelis and Gutmann have described malakoplakia as a rare chronic inflammatory disorder most commonly affecting the urinary bladder and other portions of genitourinary tract, it has been known as a rare disease. Especially, it rarely involves colon as an inflammatory lesion with uncertain pathogenesis. Histologically, the pathognomonic entity is coarsely granular histiocytes containing calcific concretion, the so-called Michaelis-Gutmann bodies. It is differentiated from carcinoma, which it may resemble clinically. Although it is usually self-limited or responsive to antibiotic therapy,
occasionally resection is necessary because of bleeding, fistula, or localized anatomic complication. We report one case of the malakoplakia occurred in the asending colon.
