  • Title: [Cutaneous malakoplakia: A rare pseudo-tumor to know in immunocompromised patients].
    Author: Olivier N, Maiza H, Turmel JM, Baubion É.

    Abstract:
    Cutaneous malakoplakia is a rare pseudo-tumor that occurs in immunocompromised patients. It is a reaction to an infection caused by Gram negative bacteria. The clinical presentation is nonspecific and the diagnosis is histological. The evolution is recurrent and the combination of a surgical treatment, antibiotics and adaptation of immunosuppressive therapy is necessary to cure the disease. The emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacteria responsible for the pathology can complicate the treatment and require additional microbial sampling. We report a case that occurred in a renal transplant patient with a complex diagnostic and therapeutic management.
