[Genitourinary malacoplakia].

Malacoplakia is a chronic inflammatory disease the etiology of which remains obscure. It has a very low incidence and affects primarily the genitourinary tract, although it has been described in some other organs. This paper presents a historic insight of the clinical cases diagnosed in this centre, and includes a review and update of several issues related to this entity such as pathogenesis, pathological anatomy and treatment. Also, the peculiarities related to the involvement of each separate organ with regard to diagnosis, prognosis and treatment are described.

[Tuberculous prostatic abscess in a patient with AIDS].

Despite of prostate abscesses having become an uncommon disease, a number of cases has been described lately specially in immunodepressed patients caused by infrequent agents, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This paper describes the case of one HIV-positive patient, diagnosed with a prostate abscess within a tuberculous dissemination. The best diagnostic method is considered to be the transrectal ultrasound (TRU), the choice therapy being drainage by ultrasound-guided transperineal percutaneous puncture.
