Malakoplakia of colon in a child with celiac disease and chronic granulomatous disease.
Malakoplakia is a rare pseudotumoral inflammatory disease known to affect immunocompromised subjects. We report a 4-year-old boy with malakoplakia of colon who was diagnosed with celiac disease in late infancy; despite aggressive nutritional and medical management for celiac disease, symptoms did not resolve. His nitro-blue-tetrazolium test was compatible with chronic granulomatous disease. In colonic biopsy Michaelis-Gutmann bodies were seen.
