  • Title: Renal parenchymal malacoplakia.
    Author: Hartman DS, Davis CJ, Lichtenstein JE, Goldman SM.
    Journal: Radiology; 1980 Jul; 136(1):33-42. PubMed ID: 6992214.
    Abstract:
    Malacoplakia is a rare inflammatory disease which usually involves the bladder and only rarely affects the renal parenchyma. The clinical, radiographic, and pathological findings in 5 cases of renal parenchymal malacoplakia (RPM) are presented and 30 cases from the literature are reviewed. Most patients are middle-aged women with E. coli pyelonephritis. Radiographically, two patterns of involvement are recognized: multifocal and unifocal. The prognosis depends on the pattern and extent of RPM; long-term survival is possible with appropriate therapy.
