  • Title: Malakoplakia in a cadaver renal allograft: a case study.
    Author: Osborn DE, Castro JE, Ansell ID.
    Journal: Hum Pathol; 1977 May; 8(3):341-4. PubMed ID: 323136.
    Abstract:
    Malakoplakia is an uncommon chronic inflammatory disease characterized by histocytes with intracellular Michaelis-Gutmann bodies. The etiology is uncertain, but it is thought that depressed macrophage phagocytosis of bacteria is important. This presentation describes a case of malakoplakia arising in a cadaver renal transplant. The association of long term immunosuppression and repeated E. coli urinary tract infections is discussed.
