title: Malakoplakia of the kidney--a case report.
abstract: Malakoplakia is a rare disease expressed as a special type of inflammatory reaction to infection with various bacteria and fungi. We present a case of renal malakoplakia in a 30-year-old female patient. The symptoms were not characteristic enough for making the ture diagnosis preoperatively. A preoperative diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma was made in this case.
