  • Prostate involvement is an uncommon localization for malakoplakia.
  • Histopathological differential diagnosis can be challenging.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with suspected prostate adenocarcinoma.
  • Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) was performed.
  • Histopathological examination revealed malakoplakia of the prostate.

Findings:

  • The prostate specimen showed characteristic features of malakoplakia.
