Although malakoplakia of the genitourinary tract and colon is reported frequently in the literature, malakoplakia that occurs primarily in the liver is rare, and only 4 cases have been described thus far. To our knowledge, this is the first case of malakoplakia of the liver diagnosed by a needle core biopsy. This case occurred in a 19-year-old man with small bowel ileus following Klebsiella pneumonia.

Malakoplakia is a rare inflammatory granulomatous disease that can produce a tumor-like appearance in nearly any organ system. Imaging findings of malakoplakia overlap with malignancy and tissue sampling are typically required for definitive diagnosis. We present a case of a 66-year-old woman with a previous history of liver adenocarcinoma status post resection that subsequently developed an intensely FDG-avid retroperitoneal mass on surveillance imaging.

Article Synopsis
- Malakoplakia is a rare condition that typically affects the urinary bladder, but there have been only 8 reported cases involving the liver, with this being the first in a transplanted liver.
- A 63-year-old man with a history of liver transplantation presented with fever, chills, and abdominal pain, leading to imaging that revealed persistent microabscesses in his liver despite antibiotic treatment.
- Surgical intervention involved a hepatectomy to remove the affected segment, and the examination of tissue samples confirmed the presence of malakoplakia.

Article Synopsis
- * A case study is presented involving a 61-year-old male who developed quadriparesis and gait issues after liver transplant and antibiotic treatment for Escherichia coli, leading to suspicion of spinal cord malakoplakia.
- * Malakoplakia can mimic malignant tumors in its clinical and radiologic presentation, posing challenges in diagnosis and treatment due to its spinal cord location, highlighting the need for differential diagnosis for intramedullary masses.

Article Synopsis
- - A 29-year-old woman with a high fever underwent surgery for a suspected gallbladder or liver issue, but a solid tumor in her adrenal gland was discovered instead.
- - The tumor's frozen section did not provide a definitive diagnosis, leading to further histological examination which revealed large histiocyte-like cells with specific markers.
- - The final diagnosis was xanthogranulomatous adrenalitis, and potential other conditions like Langerhans cell histiocytosis and Rosai-Dorfman disease were considered in the differential diagnosis.
