title: [Renal malacoplakia. Apropos of 2 cases].
abstract: Malacoplakia is a chronic inflammatory disease which specificity is pathological: Von Hansemann's cells and Michaelis-Gutmann's bodies. Renal localization is very rare. Two cases have been collected, the diagnosis having been done in the two cases on a nephrectomy specimen. Because there is no specific symptomatology to renal malacoplakia, the presence of a particular context should suggest the diagnosis and lead to renal needle biopsy. Thus nephrectomy could be avoided. The primum movins of the affection is a trouble of the phagocytosis. The place of surgery in the treatment of renal malacoplakia remains uncertain due to the lack of experience with the medical treatment. The latter is based on the prescription of cholinergic drugs, and has proved some efficacy in other localizations, as bladder.
