Pulmonary malacoplakia is a rare condition with only five previously reported cases in the literature, all occurring in adults. We describe a case of malacoplakia of the lung in a 6-year-old female with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in remission and a Rhodococcus equi pneumonia and septicemia. The case demonstrates that pulmonary malacoplakia can occur in immunocompromised pediatric patients and that malacoplakia should, therefore, be added to the list of causes of nodular lung infiltrates in immunocompromised children.
肺软斑病是一种罕见病症，文献中此前仅报道过5例，均发生于成人。我们描述了一例6岁女性肺软斑病病例，该患儿患有缓解期急性淋巴细胞白血病，并发马红球菌肺炎和败血症。该病例表明，肺软斑病可发生于免疫功能低下的儿科患者，因此，肺软斑病应被列入免疫功能低下儿童肺部结节状浸润的病因清单中。
