This paper's purpose is to document a case of unilateral tonsillar malakoplakia. Escherichia coli was repeatedly cultured from the lesion, and the isolate was studied by expert microbiologists who found no abnormalities in its biologic properties. The course of the lesion was followed by repeated punch biopsies before, and after the institution of antibiotic therapy. Following treatment, healing was characterized histologically by the disappearance of edema, granulocytes and bacilli, a striking initial increase in the number of Michaelis-Gutmann (MG) bodies and other calcified particles, and an increase in the number of foamy plasma cells, before the eventual resolution of the lesion.
本文旨在记录一例单侧扁桃体软斑病病例。从病变部位反复培养出大肠杆菌，该分离株由专业微生物学家进行研究，他们发现其生物学特性无异常。在抗生素治疗前后，通过反复进行穿刺活检来跟踪病变的进程。治疗后，组织学上愈合的特征为水肿、粒细胞和杆菌消失，米氏小体（MG小体）及其他钙化颗粒数量最初显著增加，泡沫样浆细胞数量增加，随后病变最终消退。
