| Abstrakt: | Malakoplakia is an uncommon inflammatory disease that can involve many organ systems but is often encountered in the urogenital tract. Kidney allograft malakoplakia is even rarer and can have a diffuse parenchymal or a pseudotumoral presentation. We describe a case of grafi malakoplakia in an adult female, who presented with dull aching pain in the right loin, fever, and vomiting. Ultrasonography of the kidney graft showed a heterogeneous lesion (2.6 cm × 2.9 cm), raising suspicion of primary or metastatic renal tumors. The diagnosis was established after a histopathological examination of the kidney biopsy. This pseudotumoral presentation of malakoplakia can mimic renal cell carcinoma, lymphoma, fungal infections, or tuberculosis. It is essential to perform a biopsy for establishing the diagnosis.
