Malakoplakia is a rare acquired disease that can affect many systems but is more common in the urogenital tract. Cutaneous malakoplakia is even rarer.

dermatologists to the need for careful regular examination of melanocytic lesions in
pregnant women, not ignoring possible changes as always physiological.
