[Genitourinary malacoplakia. Apropos of 5 cases. A review of the literature].
The authors report 5 new cases of malakoplakia: 2 with kidney, 1 with prostatic and 2 with testicular involvement. The symptoms are not clinically specific, but pseudo-tumor forms are predominant. Four cases were treated by removal of the organ. Owing to a better understanding of its etiopathogenic mechanism, this disease can be treated by long-term antibiotic, cholinergic agonists and vitamin C therapy.
