[Malacoplakia of the large intestine, bladder and retroperitoneum: a case report].
The authors present a case of malakoplakia, involving colon, rectum, bladder and retroperitoneum. This rare pathology, generally associated to Escherichia coli infections, result in a granulomatous disease, that can involve one or more organs. Nowadays, it is believed that the illness is due to a failure in the bactericide activity of the macrophage. This case, the first reported in our country, was treated clinically with ascorbic acid and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and is also unique in the world literature.
