abstract: Gallbladder malakoplakia in type 2 diabetes mellitus is a rare condition. Differentiating malakoplakia, which is a more aggressive disease condition with possible genetic abnormality from a more benign but closely related condition such as xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis, is of prognostic importance in postoperative patient management and follow-up.
