    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Pathology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Malakoplakia is a rare inflammatory condition characterized by the presence of Michaelis-Gutmann bodies.
    • Involvement of the urethral meatus is exceedingly uncommon, with only one prior reported case.

    Observation:

    • A second case of malakoplakia affecting the urethral meatus is described.
    • Multiple similar lesions were also identified within the urinary bladder.
    • The patient presented with symptoms related to these lesions.

    Findings:

    • A combination therapy including antituberculous agents followed by antimicrobial treatment was administered.
    • Complete resolution of all malakoplakia lesions in both the urethral meatus and urinary bladder was achieved.
    • No recurrence was observed during an eighteen-month follow-up period.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for malakoplakia to affect the urethral meatus and urinary bladder.
    • Effective treatment strategies involving antituberculous and antimicrobial therapies can lead to sustained remission.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis and optimal management of genitourinary malakoplakia is warranted.
