Perianal cutaneous malakoplakia in an immunocompetent patient. 2010

Ahmad Z Shawaf, and Lamis A Boushi, and Thaer Hassan Douri

Malakoplakia is an uncommon inflammatory condition usually affecting the genitourinary tract, which has been associated with infections, tumors, and immunocompromised states. The condition has been reported in many different organs and it may rarely involve the skin. We describe a case of an isolated perianal cutaneous malakoplakia in an immunocompetent 23-year-old Syrian male.
