SUMMARYAn unusual case of malakoplakia of the cervical lymph nodes in a patient with bony metastasis from prostrate cancer is reported. An 80-year-old patient with metastatic prostatic cancer presented with bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy, and a hard cervical mass in the left supraclavicular region. Biopsy of the lymph gland revealed the presence of malakoplakia, with no evidence of metastatic prostatic carcinoma. Though co-existence of malakoplakia and adenocarcinoma within the prostrate gland has been reported before, this case is unique, as it highlights the rare occurrence of malakoplakia involving distant nodes in a patient with bony metastatic prostate cancer. This report reflects the fact that things are not always what they seem in medicine, and not infrequently we come across a different pathology which mimics another.

KEYWORDS: Malakoplakia; Michaelis-Gutmann bodies; Urethral tumor; UrethralMalakoplakia is a rare chronic inflammatory disease, most commonly found in the urinary tract. It has been associated with chronic infections, malignancies, and immunocompromised states. The authors present 3 cases of malakoplakia of the genitourinary tract, seen in 3 female patients who sought medical attention due to pain or bleeding. The histopathological examination in all cases was compatible with malakoplakia and characterized by the presence of Michaelis-Gutmann bodies. All patients were effectively treated with surgical excision in combination with antibiotic therapy.

A 59-year-old white man had generalized lymphadenopathy, fever, weight loss, and hypercalcemia. Histologic examination of seven lymph nodes from three different anatomic sites revealed a diffuse histiocytic infiltrate containing numerous typical Michaelis-Gutmann (MG) bodies. Histochemical and immunohistochemical results confirmed the histiocytic nature of the predominant cell within the infiltrate. Approximately equal numbers of residual normal B-cells, T-helper, and T-suppressor cells were present. Electron microscopy revealed extracellular and intracellular MG bodies, many of which were membrane-bound. Special stains, electron microscopy, and lymph node culture did not demonstrate microorganisms. The histologic features of the infiltrate were those of malacoplakia. However, the disease behaved like a lymphoma, with the occurrence of lymphadenopathy and a fatal outcome.
