Unusual site for an unusual disease. Malacoplakia of the prostate.
Malacoplakia is an unusual granulomatous disease that most frequently affects the urinary tract, but also may affect other organ systems. Only about 200 cases have been reported in the literature (11), and only 11 have involved the prostate (1-10). We report the twelfth case of malacoplakia of the prostate.
