    Author: Castillo Gimeno JM, García Herreros F, Mor Gorrochategui C, Jaso López AC, Lázaro Santander R, Domínguez Escrig JL.
    Journal: Arch Esp Urol; 1998 Mar; 51(2):183-5. PubMed ID: 9586320.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: To describe two cases of malakoplakia of the bladder with an unusual form of presentation and review the cases previously reported in the literature. METHODS/RESULTS: Two patients, a 61-year-old female and a 71-year-old male, are described. Both patients had a history of recurrent infection caused by coliform pathogens. Treatment consisted of trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole, ascorbic acid and bethanecol chloride, together with extended TUR of the bladder lesion. CONCLUSIONS: Although malacoplakia of the bladder is considered to be a benign disease, close follow-up is warranted due to frequent recurrence of symptoms and the difficulty in achieving long-lasting effects since it is frequently associated with immunosuppression.
