초록/요약
Malakoplakia is a rare chronic inflammatory condition that results from defective phagolysosomal activity. Malakoplakia usually affects the urinary tract, and immunosuppression is a predisposing factor in most patients. A 78-year-old woman undergoing long-term steroid treatment presented with right flank pain. CT demonstrated a large, multilocular cystic mass with focal enhancing solid portion in the right kidney and retroperitoneum. The patient underwent ultrasonography-guided biopsy for enhancing the solid portion, and pathologic examination revealed malakoplakia.
