Malacoplakia of a cadaveric renal allograft: a case report.

A case of malacoplakia in a cadaveric renal allograft is presented. Infection and immunotherapy are presented as possible etiologic factors.

The suggestion is made that an altered macrophage response in this disease is the reason for this granulomatous lesion of the bladder.
