We report a case of urethral malacoplakia associated with disease of the bladder and bladder neck. Treatment consisted of fulguration of the bladder lesions and excision of the urethral lesion. Unlike most other cases of genitourinary malacoplakia, which are associated with chronic urinary tract infection, this patient had sterile urine and no history of urinary tract infections. Urethral malacoplakia is reviewed, and the pathogenesis and treatment of the disease are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
