  • Title: Two cases of malakoplakia of the prostate.
    Author: Klaaborg KE, Bennedbaek J, Starklint H.
    Journal: Eur Urol; 1985; 11(2):137-8. PubMed ID: 4007003.
    Abstract:
    2 further cases of malakoplakia of the prostate are reported, so that a total of 23 cases have now been described. The histological picture, as well as the methods of staining for the demonstration of the pathognomonic Michealis-Gutmann bodies are reviewed. The presence of Escherichia coli as a possible factor in the etiology is discussed. A description is given of the symptoms and physical findings in cases of prostatic malakoplakia, and the differential diagnosis, with particular reference to cancer of the prostate, is reviewed. Histology alone can provide the correct diagnosis. Finally it is emphasized that malakoplakia can be treated with long-term antibiotic therapy.
