Malacoplakia of the ureter.

P T Nieh, A F Althausen

    The Journal of Urology
    |November 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Malacoplakia, a rare urinary tract condition, typically affects the bladder. This case highlights an unusual presentation of malacoplakia in the distal ureter causing hydronephrosis in a solitary kidney.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Malacoplakia is a rare inflammatory condition characterized by the presence of von Hansemann macrophages.
    • It primarily affects the urinary tract, commonly involving the bladder and, less frequently, the distal ureter.

    Observation:

    • A case study of a 55-year-old woman with a solitary kidney presenting with hydronephrosis is detailed.
    • The only observed urinary tract lesion was an apple-core type mass in the distal ureter.

    Findings:

    • The patient underwent resection of the distal ureteric mass.
    • Histopathological examination confirmed malacoplakia as the cause of the ureteric obstruction.

    Implications:

    • This case represents a rare and unusual presentation of malacoplakia, emphasizing the importance of considering atypical sites.
    • The findings underscore the need for thorough differential diagnosis in cases of ureteric obstruction, especially in solitary kidneys.
