Malacoplakia of probable retroperitoneal origin.

H Kumon, M Morioka, T Araki

    Acta Medica Okayama
    |December 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    This report details the first documented case of extravesical malacoplakia in Japan. The rare condition presented as a flank mass, initially suspected to be renal, but found to involve deeper retroperitoneal structures.

    Area of Science:

    • Uropathology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Malacoplakia is a rare, benign inflammatory condition typically affecting the urinary tract.
    • Extravesical presentations of malacoplakia are exceptionally uncommon, posing diagnostic challenges.

    Observation:

    • A 61-year-old female presented with a right flank mass, initially presumed to be of renal origin based on radiological imaging.
    • Surgical exploration revealed a tumor not confined to the renal cortex but extending into the retroperitoneum and psoas muscle.

    Findings:

    • Histopathological examination confirmed the mass as malacoplakia.
    • Key diagnostic features included the presence of characteristic von Hansemann cells and Michaelis-Gutmann bodies.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering extravesical malacoplakia in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal masses.
    • Accurate pathological identification is crucial for appropriate management and distinguishing it from malignant neoplasms.
