  • Title: Malacoplakia of the ureter.
    Author: Nieh PT, Althausen AF.
    Journal: J Urol; 1979 Nov; 122(5):701-2. PubMed ID: 501833.
    Abstract:
    Malacoplakia of the urinary tract affects primarily the bladder and secondarily the distal ureter. Characteristic gross and microscopic lesions have been well described. A case of malacoplakia is reported in a 55-year-old woman who presented with hydronephrosis in a solitary kidney. The only lesion in the urinary tract was an apple-core type mass of the distal ureter, which was resected. This represents a rare and unusual presentation of malacoplakia. The differential diagnosis and pertinent literature are discussed.
