Abstract:
A 57 year old woman presented with ongoing pain and a mass in her left loin approximately four months after undergoing laparoscopic radical nephrectomy because of a left renal mass. She had a large mass at the site of her resection which continued to grow and cause destruction of bone, in this case her left sacral wing. However, the histology showed that this was not a recurrence but Malakoplakia secondary to a wound infection. To the best of our knowledge, Malakoplakia stemming from a urinary tract source this extensive and including bone destruction, has never been reported before.
