Abstract:
Histological examination of the radical nephrectomy and renal biopsy specimens in a 49-year-old woman revealed bilateral renal malacoplakia. The literature reports bilateral renal malacoplakia to be uniformly fatal. The preoperative diagnosis is based upon patient presentation and imaging studies. Insights into the bacterial etiology of this systemic disease are presented.
