Abstract:   (4290 Views)
Malakoplakia is a rare disease with undefined etiology that has been almost exclusively reported in urology and pathology journals. We are presenting a case of colonic malakoplakia in an I8-year old young man who was referred to us with a four-year history of intermittent rectorrhagia. The pathological examination of the endoscopically resected specimen revealed pathognomonic features of malakoplakia, von Hansemann cells and Michaelis-Gutmann bodies.
Keywords: Malakoplakia, colon, colorectal tumors
