title: Malacoplakia of the uterine cervix and endometrium.
abstract: A rare case of malacoplakia involving the female genital tract is presented. The characteristic granular histiocytes with intracytoplasmic Michaelis-Gutmann bodies were identified in a cervical smear. The cytological preparation also showed prominent capillary vessels and differed from biopsy material in that cytoplasmic bacteria were easily identified.
