Concurrent malakoplakia and papillary urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder.
A case of malakoplakia and papillary urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder is reported. In this case, malakoplakia was an incidental finding in a biopsy of the urinary bladder of a 74-yr old female, who presented with hematuria. The biopsy showed a low-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma in close association with malakoplakia. This is a rare association of these lesions.
