[Malacoplakia of the vagina. Cytological, histological and ultrastructural study of a case].
A case of vaginal malakoplakia is reported in a 65 year old patient receiving prednisone for fifteen months for the treatment of collagen colitis. The macroscopic and microscopic appearance, cytological examination of the vaginal smear and ultrastructural examination were typical of malakoplakia. To our knowledge, this is the seventh detailed case of vaginal malakoplakia and the twenty-sixth case of malakoplakia of the female genital tract.
