Abstract EN
Malakoplakia is a rarely seen inflammatory condition that is considered to develop secondary to a chronic Escherichia coli infection.
Although malakoplakia usually affects the genitourinary tract, it may also be observed in the colon, stomach, lungs, liver, bones, uterus, and skin.
Malakoplakia of the genitourinary system usually involves the bladder, whereas it may also affect the prostate along with the bladder.
Malakoplakia of the prostate is very rare, and it may be clinically mistaken for prostatic malignancies.
Definitive diagnosis is only possible through histopathological examination.
This study elaborates on two patients who presented to our hospital in 2013 with high PSA levels.
The primary clinical consideration was prostate carcinoma.
However, these two cases were diagnosed as malakoplakia based on the results of histopathological analysis of the transrectal prostate biopsy specimen.
