Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Malacoplakia is a chronic granulomatous disease.
  • It rarely affects the digestive tract, often presenting as a pseudotumoral mass.

Observation:

  • A 37-year-old male presented with 15 years of chronic diarrhea, ascites, and pleurisy.
  • Endoscopic and imaging studies revealed tumor-like formations and stenosis.
  • Histological examination of surgical samples confirmed malacoplakia with Michaelis-Gutmann bodies.

Findings:

  • The patient exhibited malabsorption syndrome.
  • Polypoid, tumor-like formations in the digestive tract were observed.
  • Histopathology confirmed malacoplakia, characterized by histiocytes containing Michaelis-Gutmann bodies.

Implications:

  • Malacoplakia, though primarily urogenital, can manifest in the digestive system with diverse symptoms.
  • Accurate diagnosis relies on characteristic histopathological findings.
  • Understanding the pathogenesis of malacoplakia is key to effective treatment strategies.
