  • Title: Malakoplakia of colon in a child with celiac disease and chronic granulomatous disease.
    Author: Kianifar H, Sharifi N, Talebi S, Kiani MA.
    Journal: Indian J Gastroenterol; 2006; 25(3):163-4. PubMed ID: 16877840.
    Abstract:
    Malakoplakia is a rare pseudotumoral inflammatory disease known to affect immunocompromised subjects. We report a 4-year-old boy with malakoplakia of colon who was diagnosed with celiac disease in late infancy; despite aggressive nutritional and medical management for celiac disease, symptoms did not resolve. His nitro-blue-tetrazolium test was compatible with chronic granulomatous disease. In colonic biopsy Michaelis-Gutmann bodies were seen.
