Abstract

OBJECTIVE: A case of malakoplakia of the prostate is described. This uncommon localization and the problems encountered in making the histopathological differential diagnosis prompted us to report the present case. METHODS/RESULTS: Adenocarcinoma of the prostate was suspected. The patient was submitted to TURP. Histopathological analysis of the specimen disclosed malakoplakia of the prostate. CONCLUSION: The diagnosis of malakoplakia of the prostate is essentially histopathological and depends on the ability of the pathologist to identify the typical inclusion bodies described by Michaelis and Gutmann.
