Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Malacoplakia is a rare chronic inflammatory condition.
  • Genitourinary malacoplakia typically presents with chronic urinary tract infections.

Observation:

  • A unique case of urethral malacoplakia occurred in a patient with sterile urine.
  • The patient also had associated disease of the bladder and bladder neck.

Findings:

  • Treatment involved fulguration of bladder lesions and excision of the urethral lesion.
  • This case deviates from the norm by lacking a history of urinary tract infections.

Implications:

  • The findings suggest malacoplakia can occur without chronic infection.
  • Further research into the pathogenesis of malacoplakia is warranted.
  • This case broadens the understanding of genitourinary malacoplakia presentation and management.
