Abstract
Malacoplakia predominantly affects the bladder but occasionally involves other sites. The 3rd case of malacoplakia of the prostate, occurring in a renal transplant patient who received prednisone for immunosuppression, is reported. Modification of phagocytosis and the normal inflammatory response to bacterial infection by the steroid may be of major importance in the genesis of malacoplakia.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
