| LM | basophilic calcified bodies approximately the size of a RBC (Michaelis-Gutmann body) - inside or outside of macrophages, large foamy macrophages with granular cytoplasm +/- multinucleation, lymphocytes |
| LM DDx | Xanthogranulomatous process (e.g. xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, xanthogranulomatous cystitis), granulomatous inflammation, papillary renal cell carcinoma, infarction (prostate), granular cell tumour |

Malakoplakia is a thingy that typically arises in the urinary bladder.
General
- Classically in the urinary bladder.
- May be outside of urinary tract.[1]
Gross
- Yellow mass.[2]
- May mimic renal cell carcinoma.
Microscopic
Features:[3]
- Basophilic calcified lysosomes (Michaelis-Gutmann bodies) -- key feature.
- May be inside or outside of macrophages - often size of RBC or larger.
- Large foamy macrophages with granular cytoplasm.
- Occasional multinucleated giant cell.
- Lymphocytes.
DDx:
- Xanthogranulomatous process.
- If you cannot find the Michaelis-Gutmann bodies... it is a xanthogranulomatous process, e.g. xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, xanthogranulomatous cystitis.
- Granulomatous inflammation.
- Papillary renal cell carcinoma.
- Infarction (prostate).
- Granular cell tumour.[4]
