Malakoplakia, a rare acquired granulomatous disease, affects many systems, including the urogenital tract. The literature describes malakoplakia of different viscera, and satisfactory results have been obtained after treatment. We reported a 48-year-old patient with diabetes who received multiple treatments in our hospital for bladder malakoplakia near the ureteral orifice. Despite aggressive treatment, the patient had recurrent bladder malakoplakia and even developed right ureteral orifice stenosis, which resulted in urinary obstruction and hydronephrosis. We believe that malakoplakia in the bladder near ureteral orifice should receive more attention. Satisfactory results may not be obtained through antibiotic treatment alone, and early antibiotic therapy combined with full surgical excision may be a better choice.

Introduction: Morphological changes in the prostatic urethra and bladder cavity resulting from Aquablation treatment are still unknown. This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of Aquablation within one-year post-surgery, focusing on both functional and endoscopic outcomes.
Methods: Prospective enrollment of patients undergoing Aquablation (10/2018-04/2023) included those with baseline International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) ≥ 10, prostate volume from 40 to 80 mL, and Qmax ≤ 12 mL/s.

Background: Plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma (PUC) is a rare and aggressive subtype that often presents at advanced stages with poor prognosis. This study investigated tumor invasion to better understand tumor behavior and potentially to improve management strategies by comparing the clinicopathologic characteristics of PUC with positive ureter resection margin (+ URM) with PUC with negative URMs (-URM).
Methods: This retrospective analysis used pathology reports from 2017 to 2023 for cases diagnosed with PUC during radical cystectomy (RC).
