AI Article Synopsis
- A 66-year-old man was diagnosed with malacoplakia of the prostate, marking a rare case as it was confirmed through needle biopsy.
- Only eight other cases of prostatic malacoplakia have been previously reported, with three of those incorrectly identified as prostate cancer.
- The case is analyzed in comparison to existing clinical and pathological literature to understand its significance.
Article Abstract
A case of malacoplakia of the prostate in a 66-year old man is reported. This is the first time, that the diagnosis was established by needle biopsy. There are only eight previous reports of prostatic involvement. Three of these cases were initially misinterpreted as carcinoma. The present case is discussed in view of the pertinent clinical and pathological data in the literature.

Prostatic malakoplakia is an uncommon chronic inflammatory disorder, tumor-like but non-cancerous, the diagnosis of which pivots crucially on the identification of characteristic Michaelis-Gutmann bodies within the pathological tissue. We hereby present an inaugural case report of prostatic malakoplakia concurrent with sepsis caused by multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli, verified through blood culture and metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). The pathogenesis might be associated with infections by Escherichia coli, immune system irregularities, or lysosomal dysfunction.

Article Synopsis
- This study examined the imaging features of prostatic malakoplakia in 11 patients, all confirmed through pathology, with a median age of 62 years.
- Results showed that lesions typically had high PI-RADS scores (4 or 5), involved the peripheral zone, and displayed various distribution patterns without infiltration into surrounding tissues.
- Key imaging characteristics included moderate hypointensity on T2-weighted images, slightly higher signal on T1-weighted images, and specific enhancement patterns, helping to distinguish prostatic malakoplakia from cancer.

Article Synopsis
- The presented case was diagnosed with prostatic adenocarcinoma via needle biopsy, and subsequent prostate surgery revealed extensive malakoplakia.
- Notably, the patient experienced a urinary tract infection (UTI) two weeks after the biopsy, similar to four other cases where UTIs followed the biopsy, suggesting a potential link, but stronger conclusions are limited due to the few cases available.

Article Synopsis
- - A 61-year-old man experienced urinary and defecation issues for 4 months, leading to an abdominal contrast-enhanced CT that showed large rectal masses suspected to be cancerous and affecting nearby organs.
- - An 18 F-FDG PET/CT scan was conducted for staging, revealing intense activity in masses involving the rectum, bladder, prostate, left ureter, and abdominal wall in the pelvic area.
- - Further histopathological analysis identified the masses as malakoplakia, characterized by specific cells (von Hansemann cells) and unique structures known as Michaelis-Gutmann bodies.
