Malacoplakia of liver: a case report.
This is the first reported case in the English literature of malacoplakia of the liver. In common with other cases of malacoplakia, the patient was immunosuppressed secondary to steroid therapy for underlying systemic lupus erythematosus. The patient died 18 months after presentation; at autopsy, the histologic features included those of the late or fibrous stage of malacoplakia.
