  • Title: [Prostatic malacoplakia: a case report].
    Author: Takatera H, Yasunaga Y, Kuroda H, Fujioka H, Tsujimoto M.

    Abstract:
    We report a case of prostatic malacoplakia in a 68-year-old man complaining of fever, residual urinary sensation and small urinary stream. Culture of the urine showed E. coli and Enterococcus faecalis. Digital examination and transrectal ultrasound of the prostate were most compatible with carcinoma. However, transrectal needle biopsy revealed the histopathological features of malacoplakia. The patient had been treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, bethanechol and ascorbic acid for 5 months. Twenty-seven cases of prostatic malacoplakia in the Japanese literature are reviewed.
