| Popis: | A 99-yr-old Chinese woman with cutaneous malakoplakia and concomitant urinary tract infection was reported. The patient presented with an ulcerated right lower quadrant mass and computerized tomography showed that it was limited to the skin and subcutaneous tissue with no extension to the pelvic or abdominal structures. The patient also suffered from urinary tract infection and was treated with oral norfloxacin. The ulcerated subcutaneous mass disappeared on follow-up visit 6 months after presentation. The cytologic (fine-needle aspiration), histologic (trucut biopsy) and ultrastructural features of cutaneous malakoplakia were described. The possible usefulness of fine-needle aspiration in the diagnosis of this condition was discussed. |
