Abstract
Malakoplakia is rare chronic infl ammatory disorder which commonly affects
urinary tract. Though it has been reported in several sites outside the urinary
tract, isolated lympnode involvement is extremely uncommon. Herein we present
a case of 20 year old male with right inguinal lymphnodal mass. Histological
fi ndings including special stains and immunohistochemistry fi ndings were
characteristic of malakoplakia. This case is being presented to create awareness
for inclusion of this entity in the differential diagnosis of lymphadenopathy.
