Malakoplakia of urinary bladder following cadaveric renal transplantation.
Malakoplakia of the urinary bladder following cadaveric renal transplantation in a twenty-two-year-old woman is reported. Urinary tract infection with Escherichia coli persisted postoperatively. Three years later, gross hematuria and fever occurred. Yellow-tan mucosal plaques or nodules were observed cystoscopically, and histologic examination revealed malakoplakia of the urinary bladder with characteristic foamy histiocytes containing Michaelis-Gutmann bodies.
