Malacoplakia is a rare granulomatous, inflammatory disease usually diagnosed on a biopsy specimen. Only five cases have been diagnosed by FNA, most of them in the prostate. We report the cytologic and ultrastructural findings in fine needle aspirates of pelvic malacoplakia. The main characteristic of the smears was a richly inflammatory background with abundant, foamy histiocytes containing Michaelis-Gutmann bodies. The results indicate that fine needle aspiration is useful in diagnosing this disease, excluding a neoplastic process and performing follow-up.
软斑病是一种罕见的肉芽肿性炎症性疾病，通常通过活检标本诊断。仅有5例通过细针穿刺抽吸活检（FNA）诊断，其中大多数发生在前列腺。我们报告盆腔软斑病细针抽吸物的细胞学和超微结构发现。涂片的主要特征是炎症背景丰富，有大量含有米氏小体的泡沫状组织细胞。结果表明，细针穿刺抽吸活检有助于诊断这种疾病，排除肿瘤性病变并进行随访。
