Summary:Malakoplakia is a rare inflammatory disease, related to Enterobacteria infection in the context of a disorder of cell-mediated immunity. This disease does not have any specific clinical or laboratory signs and the diagnosis is exclusively based on histology. Malakoplakia is exceptional in children and usually involves the gastrointestinal tract. The authors report a rare case of malakoplakia of the urinary bladder in a 4-year-old child, in whom the initial diagnosis was an anomaly of the urachus.
