Abstrakt: Renal malacoplakia is an uncommon condition with a variety of radiological characteristics which may initially suggest an alternative diagnosis. Three cases of renal malacoplakia were diagnosed in our hospital during a 2 year period. This apparent cluster of cases probably reflects the increased use of imaging and biopsy in the investigation of elderly hospitalized patients. It is important to make a definitive diagnosis as correct management may result in cure.
