    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Pathology
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Malacoplakia is a rare acquired disorder characterized by the presence of} Hancock inclusions and Michaelis-Gutmann bodies.
    • It typically affects the urinary tract but can occur in other organs.

    Observation:

    • A case of renal malacoplakia is presented.
    • The condition was incidentally discovered due to asymptomatic pyuria.
    • Initial urologic evaluation suggested an avascular renal mass.

    Findings:

    • The diagnosis of malacoplakia was confirmed solely through histologic examination of the surgical specimen.
    • The patient experienced a postoperative complication of purulent perinephritis.

    Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering malacoplakia in the differential diagnosis of renal masses, even with atypical presentations.
  • Histologic confirmation is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
  • Awareness of potential complications like perinephritis is important for patient management.
