Malacoplakia: A rare entity
Authors
Dr. Kanupriya Gupta
Abstract
Malakoplakia is a relatively uncommon chronic inflammatory reaction of unknown etiology. It usually affects the genitourinary tract but may rarely involve the tongue. There are many theories that explain this reaction but it seems to be the answer to an infectious agent in a patient with immunologic deficiency. Microscopically, malakoplakia is characterized by the presence of foamy histiocytes with distinctive basophilic inclusions, which are known as Michaelis Gutmann bodies due to a partially ingested bacteria and their posterior calcification. There are many alternatives to treat this entity.
