Background: Malakoplakia is a rare acquired chronic infectious granulomatous condition, that is characterized by the accumulation of large granular macrophages containing basophilic inclusion bodies in the cytoplasm termed Michaelis-Gutmann (MG) bodies. Malakoplakia most commonly involves the genitourinary system, and the second most commonly affected site is the gastrointestinal tract. Rectal malakoplakia is an unusual entity that is difficult to diagnose due to its diverse clinical manifestations and radiological findings that are similar to different diseases and advanced cancers.
