title: [Ultrasonographic, serologic, and clinical characteristics of a case of prostatic malacoplakia].
abstract: An additional case of malakoplakia of the prostate in described to highlight its clinical, echographic and serum features. It's a rarest disease especially when prostate is involved, but well known in world literature. This case is reported to describe more accurately its echographic patterns and also for growing up precision in linguistical expressions used by echographists. We hope to contribute in collecting data about an uncommon pathology. At last we discuss about differential diagnosis when biopsy is negative for neoplasia and how it's possible to end further biopsies.
