Two cases of malakoplakia of the prostate are documented, bringing the total described in the world literature to 15. This literature is reviewed, and typical features of the condition are established. The majority of the cases have had proven previous episodes of Escherichia coli infection of the urinary tract, but bacilliform organisms have yet to be demonstrated in the diseased prostatic tissue. Five of the reported cases have also had important additional disease, including three instances of malignant lung tumour. Finally, it is emphasised that recognition of prostatic malakoplakia as an entity will prevent its confusion with prostatic carcinoma.
本文记录了两例前列腺软斑病病例，使世界文献中描述的病例总数达到15例。对该文献进行了综述，并确定了该病的典型特征。大多数病例此前已证实有泌尿道大肠杆菌感染史，但在患病的前列腺组织中尚未发现杆状菌。报告的病例中有5例还患有其他重要疾病，包括3例恶性肺肿瘤。最后强调，认识到前列腺软斑病是一种独立的疾病将避免其与前列腺癌混淆。
