title: [Bladder malacoplakia: 14-year follow-up of a case].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe the clinical findings, treatment and results of long-term follow-up of a case of malacoplakia of the bladder.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After diagnostic endoscopic evaluation, transurethral resection of the lesion was performed and antibiotic therapy was administered. The same treatment was repeated 4 years later. During the following 10 years, the patient had a yearly endoscopic evaluation that showed no recurrence of the lesion.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Transurethral resection combined with antibiotic therapy is effective in the treatment of malacoplakia of the bladder. The importance of long-term follow-up of the patient is emphasized.
