  • Title: Malacoplakia of the bladder: a case report of resolution with bethanechol, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and ascorbic acid.
    Author: Stanton MJ, Lynch JH, Maxted WC, Chun BK.
    Journal: J Urol; 1983 Dec; 130(6):1174-5. PubMed ID: 6139488.
    Abstract:
    Malacoplakia is a granulomatous disease that most frequently involves the urinary tract but also may involve the genital tract, gastrointestinal tract and retroperitoneum. It is believed to be infectious in origin, secondary to a deficiency of intracellular lysosomal digestion, and heretofore considered a chronic problem. We report a case of malacoplakia of the bladder, which was treated successfully with a combination of bethanechol, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and ascorbic acid.
