  • Title: Prediagnostic malakoplakia presenting as a chronic inflammatory mass in the soft tissues of the neck.
    Author: Douglas-Jones AG, Rodd C, James EM, Mills RG.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 1992 Feb; 106(2):173-7. PubMed ID: 1556497.
    Abstract:
    Malakoplakia presenting in the head and neck is very rare. We present a case of an inflammatory mass in the neck, clinically mimicking actinomycosis in a 67-year-old man. Repeated culture of E. coli and histological and electron microscopic examination of biopsy material showed an infiltration of granular macrophages and intracellular gram negative bacilli, but no classical Michaelis-Gutmann bodies. The clinical and pathological findings and criteria for the diagnosis of malakoplakia are discussed.
