    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Malacoplakia is typically considered a benign condition.
    • Renal involvement is rare but can have serious implications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the clinical and pathologic features of renal parenchymal malacoplakia.
    • To determine the prognosis of this renal disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of literature.
    • Analysis of recent clinical experience with renal malacoplakia.

    Main Results:

    • Upper urinary tract malacoplakia is not benign or self-limited.
    • Bilateral renal parenchymal malacoplakia has a uniformly fatal outcome.

    Conclusions:

    • Renal parenchymal malacoplakia requires careful consideration due to its potentially severe course.
    • The prognosis is poor, especially with bilateral involvement.
