Abstract | BACKGROUND:
Malakoplakia is an unusual chronic inflammatory disease with distinctive histopathological features rarely involving the parenchyma of a transplanted kidney, and to date less than ten cases have been reported. METHODS AND RESULTS: CONCLUSION: Evaluation of a kidney biopsy sample represents the key to diagnosis of malakoplakia which is important for correct patient management. Treatment with antibiotics with intracellular penetration ( quinolone type) may result in curing the disease. According to our knowledge, this is the first case of allograft renal malakoplakia after combined kidney and pancreas transplantation.
