Abstract
|
|
|
|
Malakoplakia is an extremely rare granulomatous disease caused by infection and known to occur mostly in immune-compromised hosts. The most common site of involvement is the bladder. Patients with malakoplakia of the bladder present with multiple intravesical masses and are often misdiagnosed with bladder cancer. As a result, appropriate treatment is delayed. Here we report a case of a patient with malakoplakia of the bladder that was misdiagnosed as bladder cancer.
