Cutaneous malakoplakia: A rare pseudotumor to be aware of in immunocompromised patients
Type de matériel :
TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2022.
Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Cutaneous malakoplakia is a rare pseudotumor that occurs in immunocompromised patients. It is a reaction to an infection caused by gram-negative bacteria. The clinical presentation is nonspecific and the diagnosis is based on histology. The clinical course is characterized by recurrence, and a combination of surgical treatment, antibiotics, and adaptation of immunosuppressant therapy is required to cure the disease. The emergence of antibiotic resistance in the bacteria causing the disease may complicate treatment and require additional microbial sampling. We report a case that occurred in a renal transplant patient and involved complex diagnostic and therapeutic management.
