title: Renal malacoplakia.
abstract: A case of malacoplakia of the kidney is presented. The incidental finding of asymptomatic pyuria focused attention on the urinary system. Urologic evaluation concluded an avascular renal mass. The diagnosis of malacoplakia was established only after histologic studies of the surgical specimen were completed. Purulent perinephritis complicated the postoperative outcome.
